ON THAT GREAT COME AND GET IT DAY

On Saturday I attended the annual NJ State Tax Seminar sponsored by the NJ chapter of the National Association of Tax Professionals held each year at the Woodbridge Hilton. One of the speakers was from the NJ office of “Unclaimed Property”.

The speaker estimated that 1 in 10 New Jersey residents have “unclaimed property” being held for them by the State of New Jersey or another state.

I was able to find $4,500+ in “unclaimed property” for my father last year through the NJ Unclaimed Property office. Check out my WANDERING TAX PRO postings on “How I Made Over $4,500 by Watching Good Morning America” Part I and Part II.

NJ residents should go here to begin a search for unclaimed property. Each state has a similar office of Unclaimed or Abandoned Property. Check out the home page of your state’s website, or the website of the Revenue or Taxation department or division of your state.
