JERSEY CITY, N.J., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ While most taxpayers are focused on submitting their 2020 income returns, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® is reminding taxpayers who haven t filed a 2017 tax return that this is the last chance to claim this money – before the deadline, when tax season ends on May 17, 2021. According to the Internal Revenue Service, there are an estimated 1.3 million taxpayers who are owed a total of $1.3 billion in unclaimed refunds for tax year 2017.

The IRS always has a three-year window for filing a federal tax return and 2017 s money is waiting to be claimed.
