After you file

Thank you.

 

I filed my 2017 return in October 2018. We had understood that we had 3 years from then to amend it. But from your note, it sounds like we need to amend it before April 15th. Are these contradictory statements or am I missing some details?

We will get a federal refund if we do it properly.

Also, the main reason we asked the question was that my husband hadn't filed his 2017 return at all. Does that affect making the amendment in any way?
