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.
Three years to get a refund. The good news is that you can still get a refund for three years after the original due date of your return. This means that on April 15, 2013, you will still be able to get a refund for 2012 (current year), 2011, 2010, and 2009 taxes. But after this deadline, you wonât be able to get a refund for 2009 taxes anymore.
