How to receive my 2020 refund of $7,183.00?

The IRS tried to deposit the $7183 into my 401K account, but Fidelity refused to accept it, as it was over the 7K a year limit.

If the deposit was rejected the IRS will mail a check to the address on your return.

What decade? I have updated my mailing address & direct deposit information. I am looking for ways to motivate them. Of course, it has only been 15 months.

Thank you for your response.

you can't deposit your refund into a 401k under any circumstances.

How did they get an account number and routing number ?

 

Once a refund is rejected back to IRS, they will mail a check.

They need your current address for that to be successful.

Go to the IRS website and search for "lost or missing check."

See Taxpayer Advocate latest blog about how futile/frustrating it is to try the IRS Search box.
