Thousands of taxpayers have yet to claim their state income tax refunds and the state's revenue agency says millions of dollars will become unclaimed property if they don't claim the money soon. The Louisiana Department of Revenue said Tuesday they've mailed notices to more than 7,000 taxpayers that they have until Aug. 24 to claim their state income tax refund.

Officials say there is $4.4 million in un-cashed state income tax refund checks dated June 30, 2011, or before, in the amount $50 or more. Those checks are no longer valid. Taxpayers wanting to claim their refunds will have to submit a voucher for a replacement check. The voucher accompanied the mailed notice.

Money not claimed by the deadline will transfer to the Unclaimed Property Division of the state treasurer's office.
