Hello,
I wanted to clarify the years I could amend tax returns for taking the FTC vs. the FEIE.
It's now 2022 and 2021 taxes were just completed. I'm assuming I can amend the 2020, 2019, and 2018 taxes? The 2018 taxes were filed on 4/4/2019.
***Does this still fall within the "three years following the date you filed your original return"? Technically it was 3 years + 25 days ago.
Turbotax simply doesn't give me the option to do anything with 2017 taxes or earlier, which makes sense as it's clearly more than 3 years back, but it still gives me the option to amend as far back as 2018.

"If you were eligible to claim the Child Tax Credit on prior year returns but did not do so, you can still claim it in certain cases. You claim this credit on prior year returns by filing an amended tax return. In most cases, you're allowed to file amended tax returns for three years following the date you filed your original return or two years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later."
