IRS Check Mailed 1/13 Still Not Received - USPS Delay or Lost?

My refund check was supposed to be mailed January 13th according to WMR and my transcript but still nothing in my mailbox. Starting to get worried. Anyone else experiencing delays with mailed refunds?

USPS is experiencing major delays rn. Give it at least 4 weeks before panicking. If you still don't receive it after that, you can request a payment trace through the IRS. Just make sure your address is correct on your return!

Hey there! I actually found taxr.ai super helpful for tracking these situations. It costs $4.99 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening, including mail delays and estimated delivery times. Way better than guessing tbh. Check it out at https://taxr.ai
