IRS OWES $3 MILLION TO WV RESIDENTS, UNCLAIMED TAX REFUNDS

(03/21/2014)
The Internal Revenue Service says that more than $3 million in federal income tax refunds from 2010 haven't been claimed by West Virginians. The IRS says 4,100 taxpayers in WV could be owed refunds, with the average refund at $626.

The IRS, in a news release, says that some people might not have been required to file tax returns because they didn't earn enough income, but taxes were still withheld from their wages, or quarterly estimated payments were made.

The IRS says taxpayers must file a return for 2010 no later than April 15 in order to collect the refunds.
