Dear Friends:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently seeking to locate 115,478 taxpayers nationwide whose refund checks have been returned as undeliverable because of old or bad addresses. The checks total about $110 million and average $953 each. That breaks down to 3,646 New Jersey taxpayers for a total of $3.42 million unclaimed in the Garden State .
The undeliverable refunds account for less than one out of one thousand refunds (less than one-tenth of one percent). So far, this year, the IRS has processed nearly 105 million refunds, totaling about $240 billion.
If you think that you might be one of the missing refund recipients, you can check with the IRS via their website (click on “Where’s My Refund? on www.IRS.gov) or toll free number (1-800-829-1954). My office may also be able to help you determine if your name is on this list. Call my Paramus office at 201-712-0330 for more information.
Sincerely,
Congressman Scott Garrett
