I didn’t file a 2015 return and now learned that I’m owed a refund. What can I do?

You have three years from the due date of the tax return to file for a refund. So you must file a 2015 return no later than April 15, 2019, to claim the refund. You can find prior year tax forms from the IRS at https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/prior-year.

Appreciation in value

Increase in value of property due to market conditions. When you sell appreciated property, you pay tax on the appreciation since the date of purchase. When you donate appreciated property held long term, you may generally deduct the appreciated value.
