After you file

2017?   It is too late to get a refund for a 2017 return.   If you did not file a 2017 tax return, you forfeited that refund -- the last year you could have filed for a 2017 refund was in 2021.   You have three years from the filing deadline   (April 2018 or October 2018 if you requested an extension) to file a tax return and still receive a refund; after that, the refund is forfeited.   The filing deadline to receive a refund  for a 2017 return would have been in 2021. You can check your online account with the IRS to see what it shows for you.
