Statute Expiration Date

What am I missing here?

A Notice CP81 from IRS in Austin dated May 24, 2021, says:

“We haven’t received your tax return for the year shown above. The statue (yes, that’s what it says, not statute) of limitations for claiming a refund for the tax year shown above is set to expire. As a result you are at risk of losing the right to a potential refund of your credits and/or payments shown above.”

The credit on account is $145.  The tax year is 2017.  

No, the taxpayer does not live in Texas or other disaster area.

A scam or the IRS has finally gone completely off the rails.

They are paying interest on refunds that are being deposited within the 21 day timeline they have, so who knows what's going on with them.

It should have gone out March 24th and the person that didnt know how to spell statute was the one that picked the wrong month beginning with an M?

It occurred to me that maybe an extensions was filed in April 2018 with a payment of that much.  We don't have any records going back that far, and he received refunds on the 2018 and 2019 returns with no questions asked.
