Missing IRS Refund Search - Unclaimed Checks |
|---|
|
Last year the IRS had
99,123 refund checks totaling $153.3 million - an average of $1547 per
taxpayer - returned by the post office as undeliverable,
primarily due to unreported
changes of name and/or address, typically after a move, marriage, death
or divorce. In addition, each year an estimated $500,000,000 million in
IRS refund checks that are delivered are not cashed and go unpaid every
year. Special tax programs are another source of unclaimed funds. In 2003, 115,744 advance child tax credit checks worth more than $50 million went undelivered, and approximately 25% of eligible taxpayers fail to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, a refund of up to $4,300 for low-income workers. Taxpayers must request reissue if a tax refund check has been lost, destroyed or voided due to the passage of time -- US Treasury checks are generally negotiable one year from the date of issue. Because the funds are held by an agency of the U.S. Federal government, your name will not appear in a state unclaimed property database search.
