Joanne filed her Year 1 tax return on April 1, year 2. She owed $500, which she mailed with her return. The rest of her tax liability, $7,000, was covered by withholding. After examining her return a few months later, she realized that she made an error that may entitle her to a refund of $1,000.

E.) Assume that Joanne filed a timely refund claim on July 8, Year 3.

i.) If the IRS never responds to her claim, when is the first day she can file a refund suit? When is the last day?
