You should file your income tax returns if you qualify for any of the refund amounts and see what happens. You can file for a refund up to 3 years from the due date of the tax return and receive the amount of the refund that you qualify for after that period of time the refund is no longer available to you. For the 2006 tax year income tax return the last day to file and receive the refund amount would have been April 15 2010.
