IRS Encourages Taxpayers To Take Advantage Of Overlooked Tax Benefits

The Internal Revenue Service urges taxpayers to take a moment before they file their income tax returns to be sure they do not overlook several important benefits to which they may be entitled.

“Many taxpayers are missing out this year on the special telephone excise tax refund and other benefits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit,” IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said. “If you don’t claim it, you don’t get it. That’s money down the drain for millions of Americans.”
