“Time is quickly running out for these taxpayers. There’s only a three-year window to claim these refunds, and the window closes on May 17. We want to help people get these refunds, but they will need to quickly file a 2017 tax return, IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said.

The median potential refund for people in Florida is $870, according to the IRS.

Government officials said anyone looking for a 2017 tax refund may not get their check right away if their 2018 and 2019 taxes have not been filed.
