The IRS said today it’s holding $1 billion in unclaimed tax refunds, owed to people who didn’t file a return in 2008. I guess the good news is that, if those taxpayers don’t claim the money — they have until April 17 this year to do so — then that’s some revenue the government can use, to avoid cutting programs, or maybe to shore up Social Security and Medicare. It’s basically a drop in the bucket, but every little bit helps, right? That said, if the money is yours, go get it! Find out more on this IRS page.
