IRS Tax Refund Search
Last year 115,478 IRS income tax refund checks totaling $110 million -- an average of about $953 per taxpayer -- were undelivered, mainly due to unreported changes of name and/or address, typically after a move, marriage, death or divorce.

In addition, each year an estimated $500,000,000 million in IRS refund checks that are delivered are not cashed and go unpaid every year.

Special tax programs are another significant  source of unclaimed funds. Hundreds of millions of dollars in Economic Stimulus Payments - special tax refunds of between $300 and $1200 - have gone unclaimed. The Internal Revenue Service is trying to find 279,000 taxpayers owed more than $163 million in undelivered 2008 economic stimulus payments.

Taxpayers must request reissue if a tax refund check has been lost, destroyed or voided due to the passage of time -- US Treasury checks are generally negotiable one year from the date of issue. Because the funds are held by an agency of the U.S. Federal government, your name will not appear in a state unclaimed property database search.
