Taxpayers who have not filed a 2009 federal income tax return have until April 15 to collect their share of $917 million in unclaimed refunds. The IRS estimates nearly one million taxpayers are eligible, with half the refunds totaling more than $500.

Taxpayers have three years to claim refunds if they do not file a return. Otherwise, the U.S. Treasury keeps the money.
