I think my refund is stolen

[macuser_22]

Stolen how?    Was it mailed to you and stolen from your mail box?

No check in mail so far.  Never had an issue their before.  I just hope my email account has not been compromised.  The apps have been a pain this year in my opinion.  It was much smoother last time I used turbo online in 2017.  Thanks for the inquiry.

Efiled with turbo debit.

Has the refund been sent by the IRS?

I get a picture of every letter that USPS delivers everyday in my email, on the 9th of March I got an email from them with the picture of my letter from the treasury department with my $2708 check in it, it was never delivered and I suspect someone at the post office, It was never delivered, I have camera watching my porch 

Is there anyway to find out if it has been cashed?

On your tax return, did you request a paper check to be mailed to you?

• You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or make an appointment at a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office 

As of September 30th, 2025, the IRS won't be issuing paper refund checks.

The CP53E  is an IRS notice that informs you that your tax refund is frozen   because your return does not include a valid direct deposit Bank on your 2025 Form 1040.  

• When you receive the CP53E notice, you have 30 days to update or add a new bank account.
• Access or establish your online account by visiting your account to add or update your bank account information.
