Is the IRS holding money for you?

Lost Refund ChecksAre you missing a tax refund by chance? Apparently, the IRS is holding tax refunds in excess of $123 MILLION Dollars. These are refund checks that were mailed out but returned to the IRS due to incorrect mailing addresses.

The IRS reports having 3,237 returned income tax refund checks from Arizona residents alone. The checks average 1178 each. You'd think if you had a refund coming, you'd miss it when it didn't show up. Here's a link to the checks returned in Arizona. Why not check to see if your name is there...might jog your memory about your missing refund check.

If you live outside Arizona, you can check with the IRS "Where's my refund" page. You'll need your Social Security number along with the exact amount of your refund check. I don't know...Seems to me if you know exactly how much your refund is, you probably know you haven't received it. But then again, I'm terminally logical.
