Tax refund checks can’t be delivered

Friday, Nov. 26, 2004 | 8:58 a.m.

The Internal Revenue Service is looking for 1,321 Nevada taxpayers whose income tax refund checks could not be delivered. Checks can be reissued as soon as taxpayers correct or update their addresses with the IRS.

"Where's My Refund?" on IRS.gov provides information about refunds and is available from the IRS home page.

Taxpayers can avoid undelivered refund checks by having their refunds directly deposited into a personal checking or savings account. Direct deposit also guards against theft or lost refund checks. The option is available for both paper and electronically filed returns.

Taxpayers who have moved since filing their last tax return can ensure the IRS has their correct address by filing Form 8822, Change of Address, with the IRS. Download the form or request it by calling (800) 829-3676.
