IRS Refund Deadline Extended to 2026 | Denver News

Millions of Americans could be owed money from the IRS—but you’ve got until July 10, 2026, to file a protective claim. A court ruling extended tax deadlines during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now the National Taxpayer Advocate says eligible taxpayers can seek refunds or credits for withheld taxes, stimulus payments, or missed benefits. But it’s not automatic—you must act. Many low-income or underserved taxpayers may miss out due to lack of access to help or records. Even if the ruling holds, missing the July 10, 2026, deadline means you’re out of luck. If you think you paid penalties or missed credits during the pandemic, check your records now—this could be your chance to get money back from Uncle Sam.
