The IRS has 115,478 income tax refund checks
totaling $110 million -- an average $953 per taxpayer -- undelivered
this year alone, mainly 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 go uncashed and 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.
