A Brief Overview of Depreciation. Depreciation is an income tax deduction that allows a taxpayer to recover the cost or other basis of certain property. It is an annual allowance for the wear and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence of the property.
How far back can you submit returns or amended returns and still get a refund? You can go back three years from the original deadline of the tax return to get a full refund. After three years, you will not be able to obtain a refund. It is important if changes are needed on an already filed return that these changes are made within the three year time frame.
As an example, here is the tax refund schedule for 2012. However, we can look to past years to see how long it typically takes to get a refund. Typically, you will see your tax refund in three weeks if you e-filed, and in six weeks if you sent your tax return in on paper through the mail. Tip: Realize that e-filing your tax return, and choosing direct deposit will ultimately get your refund to you more quickly than filing by paper.
