The United States Revenue Service (IRS) owes a million Americans about a billion dollars in tax returns.

This applies to those who did not fill out the return documents in 2013, reports USA Today.

Among those to whom the IRS owed, there may be taxpayers who, according to the results of 2013, did not even have to receive a refund.

According to the Tax Service estimates, 1 042 100 Americans did not receive a tax refund for 2013 a year due to the fact that they did not declare it. The total debt is $ 1 054 581 000.

This means that there is a little over a thousand dollars per taxpayer. The IRS estimates the average refund amount to be $ 763.

There are several reasons why many have not announced a refund in 2013.

First, not everyone is required to file a tax return, and the IRS does not automatically return the money. If your income for the tax year 2013 was less than $ 10 thousand, you should not have submitted a declaration and, accordingly, received no return from the IRS.

In addition, the tax punishes for not filling out the declaration, even if you had to submit it, only if you owe her money. If the debtor is the IRS, the agency will not send agents to you in order to get you to get this debt.

Sometimes people who do not fill out a declaration simply do not know that they owe money to them. For example, those who earned less than $ 2013 thousand in 10, but paid a federal income tax, are eligible for a refund. Students also fall into the tax refund group.

Therefore, even if you are not obliged to fill out a declaration, it is worth doing, because in this case you will have a chance to receive a refund due to you, even if you do not know about it.

According to the current tax legislation, a tax refund can be claimed for 3 years, so if you assume that you can claim a refund for 2013 a year, there is still time, but you need to act quickly.

The 3 years for the 2013 tax year began on 15 on April 2014, when the declarations were filed, so you can postpone the return of 15 on April 2017 on April, this deadline is delayed until 2017 on April, 18. You can download the tax form for 2013 year on IRS website. Information you may need to complete it can be found on your tax transcript - by link.
