My GF moved from the address on her taxes. So I am am asssuming her tax refund was sent there, and then returned. It was not forwarded to her new adddress.

I looked on every website to do with taxes etc, and couldn't find anything about how to get a check reissued (if possible). According to her Social Security # she should have got hers last month.

anyone know what to do?

Thanks......

I'll CC George Bush too.

<< 2. I moved after I filed my taxes ? how will my check will get to me?

If you?ve moved since filing your tax return, you should file a change of address
form with the U.S. Postal Service. Unlike some government checks, these can be
forwarded to a new address.

It may not have been issued yet.

The first column is the last two digits in your social security number, the second column is the week when those people should receive their checks.

00 - 09 July 23
10 - 19 July 30
20 - 29 August 6
30 - 39 August 13
40 - 49 August 20
50 - 59 August 27
60 - 69 September 3
70 - 79 September 10
80 - 89 September 17
90 - 99 September 24

A friend of mine was in the same situation, here's what he did to get his rebate check cancelled and re-issued.

He called the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and pressed options 1, 1, and 3 then waited on hold in a queue for 10 minutes until he spoke with an IRS agent who helped him out. They are getting slammed with calls so you may receive a message stating due to heavy call volume only automated information is available. Then I would hang up and call again until you are placed on hold in the queue. Let's hope you have speakerphone ;)

as i said in 1st post: "According to her Social Security # she should have got hers last month"

also the address forwarding doesn't help her now if it was already sent.

thanks for the phone # advice though, i'll let her know. and let you know what i find out.

It can take several MONTHS for the post office to forward your letters to your new address. I've gotten one that was date 1/2 year before ...
