Those American taxpayers who have not claimed their tax refund<\/strong> for tax year 2021<\/strong> will only have until April 15, 2025<\/strong> to do so. In fact, this is the deadline the IRS has set because the U.S. law dictates so.<\/p>\n

Taxpayers can claim their tax refunds within 3 years. Once this time goes by, the unclaimed tax refund money<\/strong> becomes property of the United States Treasury<\/strong>. Believe it or not, the pot is over $1 billion<\/strong>, so it is time to act and claim your money.<\/p>\n

IRS estimates median refunds are worth $781<\/h2>\n

The Internal Revenue Service<\/strong> claims that the median refund amount is $781<\/strong> for tax year 2021. Therefore, part of these refunds will be higher and the other part lower.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, this median refund amount for 2021 refunds do not include<\/strong> the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, the Recovery Rebate Credit,<\/strong> or any other credit you may be eligible for.<\/p>\n

It implies some taxpayers who have not filed yet their federal income tax return for 2021 could receive even more money. Check the thresholds<\/strong> for each tax credit to see if you qualify.<\/p>\n

IRS unveils median potential refund by State<\/h2>\n

The highest<\/strong> median potential refund<\/strong> is for taxpayers in New York<\/strong>. The IRS<\/strong> has announced that the median refund in this State is worth $995<\/strong>. In total, 73,000 New Yorkers have not claimed their 2021 tax refund.<\/p>\n

The number of individuals who have not filed their 2021 tax return and have an unclaimed refund is the highest in California<\/strong>. The total is 116,300, approximately, said the IRS.<\/p>\n

However, the median refund amount in California is lower than in New York. Taxpayers could get about $600. Still, it is a great deal of money if you are on a shoestring budget. Visit the official website for more details:<\/p>\n
