Refunds claimed with original returns

An individual may file an original return to claim a refund any time within four years of the due date of the return, not including any extension of the time to file. The claim may include any estimated payments made prior to the due date of the return and any other allowable credits, to the extent either exceed the tax due. No refund is allowed to any taxpayer who fails to file an original income tax return within four years of the due date of the return, not including any extension of the time to file.
