Seniors Are Owed Money by the IRS — and Most Have No Idea

Every spring, millions of older Americans hand the I R S more money than the law actually says they owe — not by cheating, and not by mistake. They overpay because the credits, deductions, and refunds that belong to them sit behind a door nobody ever shows them how to open. Most have no idea it's happening. In this video I break down 5 real, claimable items most seniors miss every year: the new $6,000 senior bonus deduction (2025-2028), the extra standard deduction at 65, the Credit for the Elderly or Disabled (a dollar-for-dollar credit up to $7,500), your state's property-tax circuit breaker and homestead exemption, and the $73 billion in unclaimed property the states are holding right now — including, very possibly, money with your name on it. This is education, not financial, tax, or legal advice. Every item here is real and named — no fake checks.
