The Internal Revenue Service just put out its annual list of taxpayers who had undeliverable tax refunds.
I don't understand how you can just forget about never receiving a tax refund, but not everyone is such a stickler for money-related details.
I'm not going to pelt you with facts. You just want to know if you're on THELIST , right?
Are you on THELIST ? Well, check THELIST out!
Did you see your name? Well, you'd better update your address using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov . To use the tool, you'll need:
Social Security number tax filing status amount of your refund shown on your 2008 return. For those of you who care about the stats:
Nearly 1,300 Minnesota taxpayers are due to receive a combined $1.3 million in federal refund checks. Undeliverable refund checks for Minnesotans are higher this year, averaging $1,009 compared with $778 in 2008. The higher average amount can be explained by new tax credits such as the first-time home buyer credit that are benefiting some taxpayers. Nationally, 107,831 taxpayers have a combined $124 million in returned refund checks owed to them.
Do me a favor. Avoid this fate in the future by using e-file or direct deposit. You'll get your money back faster and hassle-free as well. And save paper. And stamps.
