Taxpayers have only until April 15 to file past due tax returns and qualify for an actual refund.
Past due tax returns are best filed ASAP. However, when you fail to file within the three year window, from the date the return was actually due, you can loose the actual refund check.
The IRS, usually will contact a taxpayer, in the form of a letter, when report income, suggest that the taxpayer may owe the IRS. If you have not filed your tax returns, and you have not heard from the IRS, that may be an indication that you may have a refund coming.

IRS Redesigning Notices Sent to Taxpayers
In an effort to communicate more effectively with taxpayers, the IRS has redesigning notices.

The design is said to include a clear, simple and clean design.

Report from the National Taxpayer Advocate, Says the Only 64% of Taxpayers, Get Through to the IRS When Calling
National Taxpayer Advocate, Nina E. Olson in her annual report to Congress, released the following information:
"According to Olson's report, the IRS only plans to answer 71 percent of the calls it gets this year. That's barely above the 69 percent level in 1998 when Congress got so fed up with complaints about taxpayer service that it reformed the agency. And the numbers have gone down in recent years – during the 2009 tax filing season, only 64 percent of callers got through."
Tax professionals have understood this issue for a long time, but not because we experienced the problem. The IRS provides a special number for tax professionals and has, in my experienced, been more that helpful and prompt in answer Tax professionals calls.
