IRS keeps saying refund check was mailed but never received - 3rd time waiting 30 days

This is a common issue right now. You need to file Form 3911 (Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund) to trace your missing refund check. Once filed, it typically takes 6-8 weeks for them to investigate. Make sure to verify your current mailing address matches whats on your return exactly.

This is actually a common issue right now. The IRS is required to reissue checks after 30 days of non-receipt, but you need to call them and specifically request a payment trace. They can also switch you to direct deposit for the reissue to avoid mail issues. Make sure you're speaking with an account management representative, not just the general helpline.

Have you tried using taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on with your refund. It costs $1 but totally worth it - shows you all payment traces, tells you if there are any holds, and gives specific next steps. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

in the same boat as u, been waiting since february smh

did u check if ur address is correct on the tax return? I had this issue and realized my apt number was missing 🤦‍♀️

Contact your local taxpayer advocate service. They helped me after 4 lost checks.

hey! instead of playing detective with forms and waiting forever, try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it'll analyze your transcript to tell you exactly whats going on with your refund and how to fix it. saved me weeks of headache https://taxr.ai

Same boat here! On my 2nd missing check. This whole system is a joke fr fr 🤡

did u check if someone stole it? my neighbor had this happen and turns out someone was taking mail from boxes in our area

could be identity theft... happened to me last year. somebody was stealing my mail

Consider switching to direct deposit for future refunds. Haven't had an issue since I made the switch.

bruh the IRS be playing hot potato with our money fr 🤣

Ugh this is so frustrating! I'm dealing with the exact same thing right now - been waiting 2 months for my refund check that supposedly got "mailed" twice already. The IRS customer service is absolutely useless, they just keep giving me the runaround. At this point I'm convinced they're just hoping we'll give up and forget about our money 🙄 Have you tried filing a complaint with the Treasury Inspector General? Might be worth a shot since the normal channels aren't working.
