Your check is going to be returned to the IRS. You can do an address change with the IRS so that you can receive your funds by following the steps below. You can also try calling them to get help. Wait time will be long and they may still tell you to follow the procedures below: 800-829-1040

  • full name
  • old and new addresses
  • social security number, individual taxpayer identification number, or employer identification number, and
  • signature

Also, don't forget to contact your state as well.  I'll p
