$44 million in Unclaimed Tax in North Carolina
Many states across the country are now urging eligible residents and taxpayers to claim their part of the unclaimed tax. Recently, a nonprofit organization Pisgah Legal Services urged the taxpayers in North Carolina to claim their part of the $44 million in unclaimed tax.
In a published article in ABC13 News, taxpayers have until July 17 to file a 2019 tax return to claim their refund. Following this, the Internal Revenue Service will stop issuing 2019 tax year refunds.
