Hi,
Do I have to file the return by the deadline. I almost finish and I know I will get refund, so I won't get penalty. The internet says I have 3 years but I am so confused about it as this is the first time I am behind.

If you are getting a refund, the 4/15 deadline doesn’t apply.
If you’re certain you’ll be receiving a refund, there are no penalty or interest charges for filing a federal return after the April 15th deadline.
Yes, the general rule for claiming a refund is three years from the due date: 2025 due April 15th, 2026, plus three years is April 15th, 2029.
Please don’t wait until 2029 to file your 2025 return.
