Sometimes a state tax refund counts as income on your federal return.

State Tax Refunds: Don’t Leave Yours Behind

Did you know your state tax refund can be just as important as your federal refund — and just as easy to overlook? Every year, thousands of taxpayers miss out on money they’re owed from their state return because they don’t file, file late, or make mistakes.

Unlike the IRS, your state won’t remind you forever — some state refunds expire if you don’t claim them in time!

How State Tax Refunds Work

Many states collect income tax in addition to federal tax. If you had too much withheld or qualify for credits or deductions, you could be due a refund from your state — sometimes hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

But if you don’t file that state return — or you make an error — you might never see that money.

Why People Miss Out

Common reasons people lose their state refund:
✔️ They only file a federal return, forgetting the state piece
✔️ They move to a new state and miss mail or notices
✔️ They think they don’t make enough to bother filing
✔️ They don’t realize they qualify for special state credits

👉 Don’t let your state keep your money — file the right way with us!

Missed a State Refund? You May Still Have Time

Most states allow you to claim a missed refund for a limited time — usually within three years. After that, your money goes back to the state treasury.
