Filing for a late tax refund if I missed deadline because I was incarcerated

I was incarcerated for the 2024 tax deadline. It's June and the deadline is April 15th. Is there anything I can do to still receive my tax refund for the 2024 tax season?

Yes you can still file 2024.  You can use the Online version and efile  until Oct 15.  You have 3 years to file to get a refund.  After Oct 15 you will have to print and mail your return.  Or you can buy the Desktop program.
