Missing Money
December 10, 2022 Page last updated: May 11, 2025For several years, Andrew Griffith CPA has helped our clients locate and recover their unclaimed funds without charging them for our help. Now, the very sources that we use are available on this page. If you find a link that is broken or know of another official link to include on this page, please let us know on the Contact page.
We recommend that you do your best to avoid paying someone else to locate your unclaimed funds in the hands of a government agency or regulator. After all, it is your money and not someone else's. Everyone can locate their unclaimed funds and track their income tax refunds for free by searching the following public websites:
United States

State Unclaimed Funds Offices and Income Tax Refund Tracking
Missingmoney.com is the official unclaimed funds database for the unclaimed funds offices of most states. (I recommend that you use this site to do a general search for unclaimed funds at the state levels. If you do not see anything, do not give up as some states do not share all of their unclaimed funds with this site.)
In the state/territory box immediately below, you can view the links to track your income tax refunds and identify any unclaimed funds held by those government agencies.
