Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statute of limitations for IRS assessment on Bill's 2016 tax return should end on April 15th, 2020. This is because the SOL ends three years from the later of (1) the date the tax return was filed or (2) the tax return's original due date. Since Bill filed his tax return on March 15th, 2017, the later date is the original due date of April 18th, 2017 (since March 15th, 2017 is before the original due date). Therefore, the SOL ends three years from April 18th, 2017, which is April 15th, 2020.
