What do I do if my refund went to an unknown account?

posted

If you suspect that your refund may have been stolen or misapplied, you can ask the IRS to do a refund trace.

This is a process the IRS uses to track a lost, stolen, or misplaced refund check or to verify a financial institution received a direct deposit.

Please see the IRS's Taxpayer Advocate's Lost or Stolen Refund page for more information.
