Limitations on credit or refund.--(a) General.--Claim for credit or refund of an overpayment of tax under article nine or nine-A shall be filed by the taxpayer within (i) three years from the time the return was filed, (ii) two years from the time the tax was paid or (iii) in the case of any overpayment arising from an erroneous denial by the department of environmental conservation of a certification of completion pursuant to section 27-1419 of the environmental conservation law, two years from the time a final determination to the effect that such denial was erroneous is made and is no longer subject to judicial review, whichever of such periods expires the latest, or if no return was filed, within two years from the time the tax was paid. If the claim is filed within the three year period, the amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of the tax paid within the three years immediately preceding the filing of the claim plus the period of any extension of time for filing the return. If the claim is not filed within the three year period, but is filed within the two year period, the amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of the tax paid during the two years immediately preceding the filing of the claim. In the case of a claim for credit or refund filed within the period prescribed in paragraph (iii) of this subsection, the amount of the credit or refund may exceed the portion of the tax paid within the applicable period specified in the two immediately preceding sentences, but only to the extent of the amount of the overpayment attributable to the denial described in such paragraph (iii). Except as otherwise provided in this section, if no claim is filed, the amount of a credit or refund shall not exceed the amount which would be allowable if a claim had been filed on the date the credit or refund is allowed. For special restriction in a proceeding on a claim for refund of tax paid pursuant to an assessment made as a result of (i) a net operating loss carryback or capital loss carryback, or (ii) an increase or decrease in federal taxable income or federal tax, or (iii) a federal change or correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax, which is treated in the same manner as if it were a deficiency for federal income tax purposes, see paragraph (7) of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-three. (b) Extension of time by agreement.--If an agreement under the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-three (extending the period for assessment of tax) is made within the period prescribed in subsection (a) for the filing of a claim for credit or refund, the period for filing a claim for credit or refund, or for making credit or refund if no claim is filed, shall not expire prior to six months after the expiration of the period within which an assessment may be made pursuant to the agreement or any extension thereof. The amount of such credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of the tax paid after the execution of the agreement and before the filing of the claim or the making of the credit or refund, as the case may be, plus the portion of the tax paid within the period which would be applicable under subsection (a) if a claim had been filed on the date the agreement was executed. (c) Notice of change or correction of federal income.--If a taxpayer is required by subdivision three of section two hundred eleven, subsection (e) of section fourteen hundred sixty-two or paragraph one of subdivision (e) of section fifteen hundred fifteen, to file a report or amended return in respect of (i) a decrease or increase in federal taxable income or federal alternative minimum taxable income or federal tax, or (ii) a federal change or correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax, which is treated in the same manner as if it were an overpayment for federal income tax purposes, claim forcredit or refund of any resulting overpayment of tax shall be filed by the taxpayer within two years from the time such report or amended return was required to be filed with the commissioner of taxation and finance. If the report or amended return required by any such provision of law is not filed within the period therein specified, no interest shall be payable on any claim for credit or refund of the overpayment attributable to the federal change or correction. The amount of such credit or refund-- (1) shall be computed without change of the allocation of income or capital upon which the taxpayer's return (or any additional assessment) was based, and (2) shall not exceed the amount of the reduction in tax attributable to such decrease or increase in federal taxable income, federal alternative minimum taxable income, or federal tax or to such federal change or correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax. This subsection shall not affect the time within which or the amount for which a claim for credit or refund may be filed apart from this subsection.

Where such claim for credit or refund is filed after the expiration of the period prescribed in subsection (a), or in subsection (b) where applicable, in respect of the taxable year to which the net operating loss or capital loss is carried back, the amount of such credit or refund shall be computed without change of the allocation of income or capital upon which the taxpayer's return (or any additional assessment) was based. (e) Failure to file claim within prescribed period.--No credit or refund shall be allowed or made, except as provided in subsection (f) of this section or subsection (d) of section one thousand ninety, after the expiration of the applicable period of limitation specified in this article, unless a claim for credit or refund is filed by the taxpayer within such period.

For special restriction on credit or refund in a proceeding on a petition for redetermination of a deficiency where the notice of deficiency is issued as a result of (i) a net operating loss carryback or a capital loss carryback, or (ii) an increase or decrease in federal taxable income or federal tax, or (iii) a federal change or correction or renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax, which is treated in the same manner as if it were a deficiency for federal income tax purposes, see paragraph (7) of subsection (c) of section one thousand eighty-three. (h) Early return.--For purposes of this section, any return filed before the last day prescribed for the filing thereof shall be considered as filed on such last day, determined without regard to any extension of time granted the taxpayer.
