When is the timeline to claim your refund?

The general rule as prescribed by the US tax law for personal individual tax return filers is to claim the refund within three years of the tax filing due date which for the 2021 US 1040 tax return filing is 15th April 2025. If the taxpayer misses this deadline then he or she will not be eligible to claim back the excess taxes withholding on Form 1042S/ Form 1099, Form 8288A or Form 8805, W2.

What do the taxpayer need to do to claim their excess tax refund?

The taxpayer needs to submit a 1040 US Individual tax return along with the Federal tax withholding proof which could be on Form W2, Form 1042S, Form 8288A etc.


What are the key points to be identified before submitting the US personal tax return to the IRS?

The taxpayer needs to ensure they have the correct social security number [SSN] or Individual Identification Number [ITIN] before submitting the tax return to the Internal Revenue Service Austin office for the refund claim. If the ITIN has not been used over three years, Please ensure the Form W7 ITIN renewal application is submitted along with the 1040NR Tax return filing.
