it doesn't seem fair to me. i'm not saying that the government should only have 3 years to catch fraudulent files because obviously that would pretty much encourage people to commit tax crimes but if the government doesn't have a time limit to catch tax fraud, taxpayers should also have the ability to re-file for a mistake on taxes if it benefits us. for instance, if i found out that i incorrectly filed my taxes from 5 years ago and that if it was filed correctly that i would've gotten a bigger refund, why shouldn't i be able to collect on that? a mistake is a mistake whether it's 3 years or not, or whether it benefits the government of the people.
