The IRS is sitting on about $1.3 billion in uncollected tax refunds from 2017. Americans who don't act by Monday will lose it for good.


The IRS said last month it was holding on to $1.3 billion in tax refunds for an estimated 1.3 million people who have not yet filed their 2017 tax returns. Americans now only have about three days left to collect it.

"Time is quickly running out for these taxpayers. There's only a three-year window to claim these refunds, and the window closes on May 17 (Monday)," IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement on April 5. "We want to help people get these refunds, but they will need to quickly file a 2017 tax return."

Monday is also the day that 2020 tax returns are due. It was extended from April 15 because the tax laws were changed by the passage of the American Rescue Plan COVID relief bill on March 11.

1. What a crock -- no reason they cannot keep those funds

That's only four years ago! This is insane and complete BS

2. Agreed, that's no time at all

Can we do that if they come after us for something more than 3 years ago? “Sorry, you had your chance.”
