@jashley41 This thread has had no activity for nearly two years.  Why are you posting "yes po box" here---what are you trying to do or ask about?

Do you mean you mailed your return to the wrong address ?  Or did the refund check get mailed to the wrong address?

@kynGeb28 We are not certain what you mean.   Do you mean that you filed your tax return by mail, and mailed your own  federal or state tax return to the wrong address?    Or do you mean that you think your income tax refund check was mailed to the wrong address?   Did you enter the wrong address on your own tax return?  Or did your mailing address change after you filed your tax return?

Which address was wrong?  Your home address?  Are you expecting a check or Direct Deposit?  Has the IRS sent it yet?

Did you efile?  Was it accepted?  You can check your efile status here     <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/">https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/</a>   

Then what does the IRS say?  IRS Where’s my refund     <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/refunds/">https://www.irs.gov/refunds/</a>

I don't know if this thread from 4 months ago was about a 2017 return or a 2016 return.   In user's other thread he says it is a 2016 return.   If it's 2016, he can't use the efile status check tool, which is only for 2017.   But we don't know when he filed the 2016 return anyway, or if it was printed and mailed instead of efiled.    So between the two threads, it's confusing.   It's not clear what all the user has done.     Maybe this thread from 4 months ago was about a 2017 return, and his new thread is about 2016.

You have to call them like I just did, because it happened to me. Waiting on them now to re-issue the check. It's annoying. They do not forward tax returns.

What if my refund was lost, stolen, or destroyed?

Generally, you can file an online claim for a replacement check if it's been more than 28 days from the date we mailed your refund. Where's My Refund? will give you detailed information about filing a claim if this situation applies to you.    https://www.irs.gov/refunds
