Will IRS refund check be forwarded to new address with USPS mail forwarding?
Been waiting on my refund for 5 months and have mail forwarding setup with USPS for past 10 months. Anyone know if they forward IRS checks or send them back? Getting super anxious about this whole situation

IRS checks specifically state 'DO NOT FORWARD' on the envelope. You need to update your address directly with the IRS using Form 8822 immediately. The check will be returned to IRS if it goes to your old address, which will cause even more delays. Call IRS or use their website to update your address ASAP.

hey everyone! instead of stressing about this stuff, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund status. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your check. Way better than guessing! https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery with USPS. At least youll know when the check hits your old address
