Unclaimed tax money seems too good to be true, right? With the economy in its current pessimistic state, who doesn’t want some extra money coming their way to relieve them from financial qualms? It may seem silly to sit around and wish for some “unexpected” checks to show up in the mail, but believe it or not, it’s not as farfetched as some people may think.

You work hard for your money, pay every tax, every bill and watch as the government funnels away some of it. Close observation revealed that there is over a billion dollars of unclaimed tax refunds sitting in a US Treasury account. That's a very large chunk of change that we are entitled to, and have chosen not to collect. In simpler terms, this amounts to the same thing as taking $500 (the median amount owed to taxpayers) and throwing it away. If you wouldn't do that than why are you not demanding the money that you have already earned?
We have seen how your tax refund can go unclaimed due to your not requesting it, but the majority of unclaimed funds are actually a result of the government being unable to contact you. If you are missing a refund and moved, that is likely the culprit. During the hurly-burly of moving, we have so much occupying us that letting the government know our new address is usually not a large priority. But a simple change of address form with the post office, or a call to the IRS (Internal revenue service) directly can ensure that you do not lose out on your money.
These "unclaimed" payments happen so frequently that the government has had to create a specific website just to handle requests for refunds. Where is My Rebate (www.wheresmyrebate.com) is allows taxpayers to track their refund status and correct any information such as direct deposit, address, etc. To access the service you will need to have your social security number, the amount of your refund that you calculated and your marital status for the tax year in question.
We hope that we are successful in showing you how easy it will be to see if you are entitled to and how to get any unclaimed tax refunds that you are owed. The funds owed to you are calling for your attention, start now and drive them into your accounts and improve your financial position.
