IRS Refund Search - Unclaimed Checks |

Last year alone, the IRS had
99,123
income tax
refund checks totaling $153.3 million -- an average of $1547 per taxpayer --
go
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 one-half billion dollars in IRS refund checks that are
delivered are not cashed and go unpaid every year. Undeliverable income tax refunds, tax rebates and stimulus checks are but one small component of unclaimed funds held by the IRS. A significantly greater number of checks are delivered, but for one reason or another are never cashed. Estimates are the total amount outstanding is in excess of $6 billion. 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.
