Thanks for your help on this. I was notified through a CP21B notice stating the amount of refund and that a refund check would be coming in 2-3 weeks. Its mentioned on the notice that a copy is sent to both of us but only one refund check will be issued. I have a no idea if she had encashed the check and that is what I am trying to find out with the IRS. As I have told before, the IRS agent seems not to be very helpful on the phone asking my spouse to call to tell the refund status. I am not sure if reaching out to another agent or trying out through mail will help. If I can confirm she did receive the refund then I can work with my attorney to claim my fair share of the refund. For 2020, both of us have filed MFS returns with her address being different than mine. On the 2019 amended returns, we did keep my address on it, but I suspect since IRS gets the primary tax payer's(my spouse) latest address from the 2020 tax return, the check might have gone to her address. Please advise on how to get the confirmation from IRS about the refund check trace.
