Federal returns requesting a refund have a 3 year window - you will need to check state and local regs.

You have up to 3 years to file a return on which there is a refund requested. Now, that's the federal one, but state returns are different.

Legally yes, but there isn't any penalty if you don't. You have 3 years to file and still get your refund, but file as soon as possible anyway.

No, you have up to three years to file if you are owed money.
