IRS sent 3 refund checks, none received. Address updated twice. Help!

Ugh, dealing with the IRS is like pulling teeth. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes getting a human on the phone can help sort things out faster.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Have you considered requesting a direct deposit instead of a paper check? It might be more reliable than snail mail.

I've been in the same boat, my friend. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Reach out to your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes cut through the red tape. 3. Consider contacting your congressional representative. They often have liaisons who can help with federal agencies. 4. If all else fails, file Form 3911 (Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund) to start an official trace on your refund. Hang in there! It's a frustrating process, but persistence usually pays off.

have u checked if someone stole ur mail? mayb ur neighbor is cashing ur checks lol 🕵️‍♂️💰

This happened to me last year. Turns out the issue was on USPS's end. They were marking the checks as undeliverable for some reason. I had to go to my local post office and speak with a supervisor to sort it out.

The IRS is such a joke. They can take our money instantly but when it comes to giving it back, suddenly everything's broken. 🙄

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes old school methods work best with government agencies.

Plot twist: the checks are being delivered to your old address and your ex is living their best life with your refund 💅💰
