Attention taxpayers: your money might be waiting for you.
請納稅人注意：您的錢可能正在等您領取。
Under federal law, you typically have three years from your original tax return filing deadline to claim a refund.
根據聯邦法律，您通常要在原始報稅截止日期後的三年內申請退稅。
If you miss this window, the money becomes the property of the U.S.
如果您錯過了這個時機，這些錢將成為美國財政部的財產，而您將永遠喪失領取權。
Treasury, and you forfeit it forever.
許多人，特別是低收入戶，認為如果不用補稅就不需要報稅。
Many people, especially those with lower incomes, assume they don't need to file if they don't owe taxes.
然而，未報稅意味著您會錯過預扣稅款或像是勞工所得稅抵免(Earned Income Tax Credit)這類稅收抵免的潛在退稅。
However, failing to file means you miss out on potential refunds from withholdings or tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit.
最近，一項針對新冠肺炎疫情期間災難宣告的聯邦法院裁決，為特定納稅人設下了2026年7月10日的特殊截止日期。
Recently, a federal court ruling regarding COVID-19-era disaster declarations created a special deadline of July 10, 2026, for certain taxpayers.
為了確保能領到這些款項，您必須主動申報稅表或提出保護性申請。
To secure these funds, you must actively file a return or a protective claim.
這項救濟並非自動生效。
If you believe you missed a refund during that time or any other year, check your past tax documents immediately.
即使已經過了標準的三年期限，申報仍可能對您的社會安全(Social Security)紀錄或貸款申請有益。
Don't leave your hard-earned money behind; visit IRS.gov or consult a tax professional to see if you have an unclaimed refund today.
