This is tax preparation time, but it also pays to consider the possibility that someone, somewhere, owes you money.

The term for those overpayments, uncollected refunds and assorted cash surpluses is unclaimed property.

Each state has a system of holding those funds and waiting for people to claim them.

The Web has a number of useful sites to help you find any unclaimed property owed you.

Here’s one very good starting point: MissingMoney.com. Go to the next step at missingmoney.com/Main/StateSites.cfm and go through a search for every state you’ve lived in. Good luck.
