Deadline approaching to claim 2020 tax refunds

(Radio Iowa) -  A deadline is coming up for those who may have unclaimed tax refunds from 2020. I-R-S spokesman, Christopher Miller, says there is a chunk of unclaimed money out there. “The I-R-S estimates there is nearly 11  million dollars waiting for around 10-thousand people in Iowa who did not file a 2020 tax return,” he says. There is a three-year deadline for each tax filing year for you to claim your refund. The deadline for filing for 2020 refunds is May 17th, which gives you a little more time as the normal tax filing deadline was extended by the pandemic. Miller says many low and moderate-income workers also may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit for 2020 as well.
