A Value-Added Tip from State Treasurer Converse Chellis, CPA

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing state treasurer and SCACPA member (since 1975!) Converse A. Chellis, III for an upcoming article in The CPA Report. While you can look forward to the article in our May/June issue, here's a tip you can use right now, especially if you're still preparing tax returns.

Search for unclaimed money for yourself and your clients through the Palmetto Payback Program, which holds millions of dollars reported by companies who cannot locate the owners.

This link will take you to the Palmetto Payback page: http://treasurer.sc.gov/palm_payb_prog_uncla_prop/

I didn't find any for myself, but did locate funds for two family members who had no clue there was money out there with their name on it...so it's worth checking out.
