Is it possible to get an amended tax refund directly to my bank account if IRS already sent me the check which is already expired?

[vadymg1985]

Recently I have received an email from the IRS indicating that they previously sent me a refund check but it expired because I didn’t receive it in time since I am out of the U.S. My question is it possible to get a refund directly to my bank account?

note 1 - this is about amended form
note 2 - original request was filed through the turbotax

The IRS does not contact you by email or phone!  They only send a letter.  It could be a SCAM.

Of course this is not a SCAM ! As I said in my original post I am out of the U.S. so my phone line is out. Moreover the amount is exactly the same as I filed an amended tax return.

You usually have a year to cash your Federal refund check from the date which it was issued. If your Federal tax refund check issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury expires, it can be replaced so long as the original was never cashed.

In that instance, you would contact the IRS, which issues Federal tax return checks.
