Brown Announces That Almost 900 Northeast Ohioans Have Unclaimed Tax Refunds
More than 35 Percent of Ohio’s Unclaimed Refunds Are Owed to the Region’s Residents
November 6, 2009
WASHINGTON,
D.C.—U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that nearly 2,500 Ohioans
have unclaimed tax refunds owed to them by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). Out-of-date addresses have caused these refunds to be returned by
the U.S. Postal Service, and nearly 900 of these checks are waiting for
Northeast Ohio taxpayers.
“Nearly
2,500 Ohioans can receive checks from the IRS if they update their mailing
addresses,” said Brown. “With family budgets already stretched thin, Ohioans
should not miss out on refunds they’re owed. I encourage all Ohioans who have
not received their refunds to contact the IRS to determine if there’s a check
waiting for them.”
Ohio
taxpayers who have not received tax refunds can visit the “Where’s My Refund?”
page at www.irs.gov or call to 1-800-829-1040 to check on their status. Brown’s website, http://brown.senate.gov,
includes a link to the page and instructions on how Ohioans can claim tax
refunds.
