California generally requires refund claims to be filed within the later of:
- 4 years from the original due date of the return (not including extensions), or
- 1 year from the date the tax was paid.

For a 2024 individual return (normally due April 15, 2025), that 4‑year deadline is April 15, 2029. So, since Muhammad filed on October 1, 2025, he has until April 15, 2029 to file an amended return to claim a refund—unless some other rule (e.g., a later payment date or a different original due date for his situation) changes the applicable deadline. If unsure, check the FTB guidance or ask a tax professional.
