This article will discuss how to check on the status of a federal income tax refund and update a mailing address on file with the IRS. It will also cover how to request direct deposit, which is the only way to ensure an income tax refund is received in a timely manner.
In the news release, IR-2007-189, the IRS announced that $110 million worth of 2006 tax year refund checks were returned as undeliverable by mail. The problem arose from incorrect mailing addresses, presumably for taxpayers who moved after filing their tax returns and did not notify the IRS.
