If you have a brokerage account, check that too.
The IRS uses whatever account you may have had a prior year's tax refund deposited into.
And....if a check was issued instead, and you moved residences since the prior year's tax filing, a check might have been sent to that other address.........that might take more interactions with the IRS to resolve if it wasn't forwarded to you, or returned to the IRS...or fraudulently cashed by whoever lives there now.
