Has anyone ever gotten their IRS refund after it had been lost in the mail? We submitted ours electronically (for the first time) around the first of April. I checked the status and the check was mailed April 11th. Per IRS instructions we waited until May 9th to report that it was missing. It took another 2 weeks for them to send us the form to report the missing check. I was just wondering if the system really works. Will we get our refund...eventually?
Answers:
Yes you will get it eventually, when you report that you did not receive the refund, the IRS has to wait to see if it is returned as undeliverable, If it comes back, the refund is usually credited back to your account until you submit the Form 3911. It is then released back out to you
If the check is not returned, input of the information from the 3911 automatically creates a search to see if the check has been cashed. If it has a copy of both the front and back of the check would be sent to you for confirmation of the endorsement on the check, this process can take longer to deal with, as the IRS will need to determine who cashed the check and where.
If it was returned to them you should get it in another few weeks you can call to check the status of the refund trace at 1-800-829-0922 or 1-800-829-1040
