The IRS is reportedly trying to track down certain taxpayers who are missing their economic stimulus checks or their regular refund checks.
Due to mailing errors, some 17,000 New York City residents are owed a total of $7.1 million in economic stimulus checks and $6.7 million in regular refund checks that were returned by the post office.
If you still haven't received your stimulus check, you have until Nov. 28 to update your address with the tax agency.
Updating your address takes a few simple steps.
If you are waiting for your stimulus check, go to irs.gov, click on Where's My Refund? and then Where's My Stimulus Payment? On that page, click on Where's My Stimulus Payment? and fill out the online form.
It will tell you the status of your stimulus check and give you instructions on how to update your address. You can also call (866) 234-2942.
The Where's My Refund? link can also be used to check on money you've been expecting from the IRS. The tool will provide the status of your refund and in some cases give instructions on how to fix any delivery problems. You can also call (800) 829-1954.
If you don't know the amount of your refund or stimulus check, contact the IRS customer service hotline at (800) 829-1040.
If you are waiting for your stimulus check and miss the deadline, you may be able to claim a recovery rebate credit, which is similar to an economic stimulus payment.
But this credit will be based on your 2008 income and the tax return filed by next April.
