The Internal Revenue Service says more than $3 million in
federal income tax refunds for 2010 haven't been claimed in West Virginia .
The IRS estimates 4,100 taxpayers in
the state could be owed refunds.
Half of the potential refunds are
estimated at $626.
The IRS says in a news release that
some people might not have been required to file tax returns because they
didn't earn enough income. Taxes were still withheld from their wages, or
quarterly estimated payments were made.
Taxpayers must file a return for 2010
no later than April 15 in order to collect the refunds.
The IRS says refunds might be held if
these taxpayers also haven't filed returns for 2011 and 2012.
