The IRS Has Issued a Whopping $145 Billion in Tax Refunds so Far

  • The IRS announced that over 1.1 million taxpayers are due a share of more than $1 billion in unclaimed refunds for the 2021 tax year, which will revert to the U.S. Treasury if unclaimed.
  • Federal law dictates a three-year window to claim unfiled tax refunds, making April 15, 2024, the deadline to claim 2021 refunds.
  • Many low- and moderate-income workers may be eligible for refunds on taxes withheld, potentially benefiting from the Earned Income Tax Credit , which was worth up to $6,728 for eligible taxpayers with qualifying children in 2021.
  • The IRS urges eligible taxpayers to file quickly, stating 'By missing out on filing, taxpayers could be leaving hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the table'.
  • The IRS provides options for taxpayers missing necessary tax documents, including requesting copies from employers or payers, filing Form 4506-T for a wage and income transcript, or accessing transcripts online or by mail.
