Deadline To Claim Your Share Of $1 Billion Unclaimed 2021 Tax Refunds

The refunds belong to those who did not file their Form 1040 federal income tax return for their taxes filed in April of 2022.

The IRS announced around $1 billion in unclaimed tax refunds could become property of the U.S. treasury.

1.1 million Americans are urged to take action soon to claim their share of an estimated $1 billion in tax refunds from the 2021 tax year.

The refunds belong to those who did not file their Form 1040 federal income tax return for their taxes filed in April of 2022.

Americans typically have three years to file and claim tax refunds. The deadline to claim these payments is April 15 of this year. The only way to make your claim is filing your tax year 2021 return.

Failing to claim your refund could leave you without the ‘earned income tax credit’ you qualified for in that year.
