IRS Refund Accessibility Act of 2006

The IRS Refund Accessibility Act of 2006 would allow the Department of the Treasury to use mass communication, such as television, radio, or the internet, to find taxpayers who are owed unclaimed refunds. Under current law, the IRS is restricted in how it can disclose taxpayer identity information, which can make it difficult to notify individuals when their refund checks are returned as undeliverable. This bill aims to help more citizens receive their tax money by expanding the tools the government can use to publicize the names of those with outstanding refunds.
