Can You Check for Unclaimed Tax Refunds?

The IRS puts a limit on the time in which you can claim a refund for the over-payment of tax. However, you can’t check if you have a refund due to you until you complete a tax return. To amend a prior year return to claim any overpaid taxes, you have three years from the date you filed it. If you didn’t file a tax return, then you have two years to submit one in order to claim a refund that you are owed. To find out more about getting your overpayment back, see the full TurboTax article.
