IRS owes Mississippi residents $9.9 million. Are you missing free money?
2026 tax filing dates, forms to use and more tips this tax season
A comprehensive guide to the 2026 tax season, featuring filing deadlines, tax document checklists, and new deduction rules.
Are you missing out on free money? The IRS estimates that 1.3 million Americans are missing out on their 2022 income tax refunds because they haven’t filed their taxes. That totals about $1.2 billion in unclaimed money.
Many taxpayers are missing out on income tax returns because they haven’t filed. Some are years late.
The final deadline to be eligible is April 15. If people miss it, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury.
How many people in Mississippi could get a check?
According to the IRS, Mississippi taxpayers are owed about $9.9 million.
Approximately 11,800 people who haven’t filed their 2022 taxes could get a refund. The median amount is $635, so half of refunds could be more than that.
What if I didn’t file my 2022 taxes? When is the deadline?
You have until April 15, 2026, to file back-year returns.
The IRS said you might still be eligible for the check, but only people who have filed their taxes will get one.
If you owe money or haven’t filed for 2023 or 2024 tax years, your check could be held. The money could also be garnished for unpaid child support or federal student loans.
People also have to file their 2025 taxes to get any refunds that might be owed.
