If you haven’t filed your 2020 taxes yet, you could be missing out on money owed to you. The deadline to file for 2020 is coming up on May 17, 2024. If you miss this deadline, you might lose your refund.
On average, Americans who haven’t claimed their refund for 2020 could get around $932 back, but some might get even more. Many Americans, especially students and part-time workers with low incomes, might not realize they’re eligible for refunds.
