IRS Refund Check Return Date Question - What happens when mail is forwarded?

The 'return due date or return received date' refers to when your tax return was either due or when the IRS actually received it - whichever came later. As for your check, USPS forwarding service should work with IRS checks. They'll forward it to your new address, but it might take a few extra days. If it's been more than 4 weeks, you should contact the IRS to initiate a payment trace.

Hey, have you tried using taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund. It costs like a buck but saved me hours of confusion. https://taxr.ai

in the same boat rn. moved last month and my check is floating around somewhere in usps land 🙃

make sure u updated ur address with the irs directly too, not just usps forwarding. learned that one the hard way lol

forwarded checks usually take like 2-3 weeks longer than normal. ur probably fine just gotta wait it out

PSA: If anyone else is dealing with this, direct deposit is the way to go next time... just sayin 💅
