You mean your refund?  Did the IRS send you a check?  You checked here?  IRS Where's my refund     <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/refunds/">https://www.irs.gov/refunds/</a>

Yes i ment my refund was deposit to my boyfriends account the bank didnt let him pull out the money due to the check was under my name so the bank refunded my check back to the irs its been over 3 months i havent received anything

[VolvoGirl]

Usually if the bank sends it back to the IRS then they mail a check to the address on your return.  You will have to ask tne IRS about it.  Once Turbo Tax sends your return efile to the IRS then Turbo Tax is done with it.  Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040

You can see if you can get the check reissued ... make sure your address is correct on the tax return since that is where they will mail it ...

OR .....

Call the IRS:  1-800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.  

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info).  Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  

- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.  

- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or you can contact your local IRS office.  See this IRS website for local IRS offices - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-Your-Local-IRS-Office-1 or call 1-844-545-5640 to set up an appointment

you may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area.  See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

Did the IRS actually mail a check to you? It's not clear from what you've written.

The IRS knows if the check has been cashed. If they mailed a check to you, and you have not received it, follow the instructions at the following link.

My refund was deposit to my boyfriends bank account since the check was under my name not hes the bank dint let him pull out the money so the bank rejected and sent back the check wen i contacted irs i was told it would take 2 weeks for them to receive my refund then another 4 weeks after that for the irs to mail out my check instead of receiving my check i got a letter stating no futher action is needed in 30 days i will receive an answer for my refund i have called and gone to the the irs office long story short they never received my refound check and they claim they tried checking on the status of it and nothing shows just that it was deposit to the bank how ever i received a letter from the bank that they sent it back

[jetzabel10]

After the 30 days of waiting for futher action like the letter indicated i received another letter from the irs indicating they are giving the bank 90 days to investigate what happen to my refound check my question in all this is has it been cashed or not i dont know if its even secure

[Critter]

Well it sounds like you need to discuss this with the bank since they are the one holding things up.

I think at this point you just have to wait until the bank responds to the IRS. Unfortunately, that could take 90 days. But the IRS is working on it.
