The Internal Revenue Service is looking for taxpayers whose refund checks were returned by the U.S. Postal Service due to mailing address errors.  These checks include both regular tax refunds and economic stimulus payments.  Taxpayers with undeliverable stimulus payments must update their addresses by November 28, 2008, to ensure the IRS can reissue the stimulus checks by the statutory deadline of December 31, 2008.

All a taxpayer has to do is update his or her address.  The IRS will then send out all checks due.

Taxpayers who did not receive their anticipated refund can use Where’s My Refund? on www.irs.gov to check on the status of the missing refund, initiate refund tracers and update their addresses online.  Taxpayers without internet access can call 1-800-829-1040 to check on a missing refund.

Taxpayers who did not receive their anticipated economic stimulus payment can use Where’s My Stimulus Payment? on www.irs.gov to check on the status of the missing stimulus payment and update their addresses if necessary.  Economic stimulus claimants without internet access can call 1-866-234-2942 to check on a missing payment.
