Nearly 100,000 Americans Haven't Collected Their Tax Return: IRS

Nearly 100,000 Americans Haven't Collected Their Tax Return: IRS
The Internal Revenue service has more than a hundred million dollars it would like to give deserving taxpayers.
Exactly 99,123 taxpayers are owed a total of $153.3 million in tax refunds, but the IRS is unable to give them the money due to various mailing address errors, CNNMoney reports. That sum may be less than 0.01 percent of all refunds handed out, but it's a significant amount for many of the recipients themselves, as the average refund check runs around $1,547.
It's likely a significant number of those not obtaining their tax returns don't have a bank account or rely on a so-called alternative financial institution, according to ABC News. A BankRate.com poll that found Americans most often plan to use tax returns to pay down debt, indicating a degree of financial vulnerability, would seem to support that claim.
These IRS tax returns aren't the only funds sitting unclaimed with the U.S. government, however. In fact, there's roughly $33 billion worth of unclaimed funds sitting in state treasuries and other agencies overall, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, MarketWatch reports. In New York, for example, there is $1.7 million that has yet to be claimed by the appropriate individual. But for low-income earners, especially the half of American workers that make less than $27,000 dollars, not obtaining any unclaimed funds is an especially tough blow.
And while nearly half of American tax filers paid no income taxes this year, it's not safe to assume that includes only low- and -middle-income Americans. The IRS earlier this year revealed that 1,470 Americans with incomes of $1 million or more paid nothing in income taxes in 2009. Some billionaires are similarly taxed a rate of less than 1 percent of their incomes.
With the federal deficit an ever-present issue in Washington, calls for higher taxes on the wealthy have grown louder, even from millionaires themselves. In August, Warren Buffett called for higher taxes on the super-rich in a New York Times op-ed, in which he also said he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. Most agree with the Oracle of Omaha: 64 percent of Americans support raising taxes on millionaires, according to a recent poll.
In the meantime there are resources available for those who're missing their tax refunds, with every state featuring an online resource for people to find missing funds, MarketWatch reports. Likewise, the IRS offer the "Where's My Refund?" tool on its website, designed to get refunds back to Americans.

Mortgage Modification Scammers On Notice As Federal Offices Announce Crack Down

Mortgage Modification Scammers On Notice As Federal Offices Announce Crack Down
With the economy losing momentum and the housing market sagging, there has been no shortage of scammers looking to take advantage of struggling homeowners. Now, three government offices are trying to put an end to it.
The Treasury Department, together with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or SIGTARP, announced on Thursday that they will be collaborating on a task force to investigate mortgage modification scams.
The new group will aim to crack down on scammers who offer to help homeowners revise the terms of their mortgages -- but instead collect a fee up front and then never deliver on their promise.
Such scams have become prevalent in the wake of the housing market collapse and subsequent recession. High unemployment and evaporating homeowner wealth have left countless Americans scrambling to make ends meet.
Thousands have turned to the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, a federal initiative meant to offer cash-strapped homeowners a way to modify their mortgages and avoid foreclosure.
But scammers are looking to capitalize on homeowners' desperation. A common tactic is for the scammer to claim some affiliation with HAMP and promise to get the homeowner's debts or monthly payments lowered, in exchange for payment up front.
The homeowner might front the cash, but they never receive the help they're looking for.
A SIGTARP official speaking on background told The Huffington Post that such scams are taking place nationwide, and may be advertised through any number of media -- print, Web, TV, radio and over the phone.
A consumer fraud alert issued by the three offices noted that homeowners can look for certain red flags. Anyone asking for payment up front is probably not on the level. And scammers often say they can "guarantee" a mortgage modification -- even though in reality, only mortgage servicers can authorize these changes, and third parties are unable to make any such guarantees.
The announcement of the joint task force comes only weeks after SIGTARP took similar measures against mortgage modification scams online, when it targeted more than 100 Web sites advertising questionable homeowner-assistance programs on Google, Bing and Yahoo! search result pages.
The number of homeowners looking to revise their mortgages through HAMP reached a 16-month high in September after flagging over the summer. The drop in modification filings may have been due to widespread complaints about the efficiency and effectiveness of the program.
Although HAMP initially set a goal of keeping between three and four million homeowners out of foreclosure, it proved unable to handle the volume of applications. Many modification have been canceled while still in the preliminary stages, and according to SIGTARP estimates, HAMP is now only on track to help about 800,000 homeowners.
