You can file your taxes for the year 2020 anytime up until May 17, 2024. This extended deadline was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which shifted the original filing deadline from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021, and consequently extended the three-year window to claim refunds to May 17, 2024. If you want to claim a refund for 2020, you must file by this date; otherwise, you may lose the right to your refund.
