Louisiana residents and businesses can now claim $10.05 million in previously uncashed state tax refunds through the state Treasury’s Unclaimed Property Program, the department announced November 10.
The transfer from the Louisiana Department of Revenue covers refunds belonging to 35,265 individuals and businesses. Treasury said the amounts range from small balances to six figures.
Revenue notified the affected owners in August, but they did not respond before the deadline, according to the release. The money is now available for immediate claim through Treasury.
Residents can check for their names at LaCashClaim.org or call the Unclaimed Property Program at 888 925 4127. Treasury encouraged Louisianans to check whether their state tax refund is among the funds it holds.
This announcement concerns existing tax refunds that went uncashed, not a new tax rebate or a payment promised to every resident. Treasury did not provide a parish breakdown, the tax years involved or a date by which each approved claim would be paid.
