The IRS has sent me a letter *by certified mail* telling me that I didn't file my claim for refund by the end of the 3-year and 6-month period, and that they therefore can't allow the claim. Well, I mailed my claim by certified mail, too, and the date on the Certified Mail Receipt is October 15th, which I figure is the last day to mail my claim. It was an original 2010 Form 1040 and an automatic extension was granted back in 2011. What else could they possibly ask me to provide in order for me to establish that my claim was filed (actually, mailed by U.S.P.S.) on the fifteenth, and that they should therefore honor my claim and send me *my* money back.
