Does the IRS Owe You Money?
For nearly 100 North Dakotans, the answer is “Yes!”
You can click here to see if the IRS has an unclaimed federal income tax refund check waiting for you!
The refund checks wound up in the “unclaimed” file because for some reason, the U.S. Postal Service couldn’t deliver them and returned them to the IRS. Most often, the person moved before the refund check was delivered and there was a problem with the forwarding address. Other times, it’s just that the wrong information was provided, or the information provided was illegible on the tax return itself.
Whatever the reason, if your name is on the list, you can claim your lost refund by calling the IRS directly, toll free, at 1–800–829–1040. Or you can click here to contact Senator Dorgan’s office to request help or ask a question.
