Refund sent but deposit not received

[vijay_tt]

Hi,

'Where is my refund' page shows my refund was sent on Mar 22. 2024.

I opted for Direct deposit. 

I still haven't received my federal refund. I received my California state refund in direct deposit.

IRS asking me to file a claim because  the28-day waiting period for receiving your check has expired 

Please advice me on this.

Thanks,

Vijay

I would contact your back and inquire about the deposit.

Hi,

I just enquired with the bank.

The bank said they couldn't find any transaction for that amount.

They also said they couldn't find any direct deposit that got rejected or on hold.

Thanks,

Vijay

If you have contacted the bank and they are unaware of any rejected deposit, then you may need to file Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund to initiate a trace on the deposit. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund. Please see Refund Inquiries for more information.

Hi,

I moved back to India now.

How do I file Form 3911 from India ?

IRS website asked me to file a claim as I didn't receive my refund.

Thanks,

Vijaybabu

You need to print/complete and mail the form to the Internal Revenue Service center where you would normally file a paper tax return. For CA taxpayers that would be:
