About 1 million Americans have until the end of this week to file their 2020 taxes in order to get a refund, according to a recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) news release.
Some $1 billion in unclaimed refunds from that tax year are outstanding and if people don’t act, those refunds will become the property of the Treasury Department, the IRS said on May 6. The deadline for people to file their outstanding 2020 taxes is Friday, May 17, by 11:59 p.m.
