  • Was your refund returned to the IRS?
    Can you see that you were due a refund but the IRS but you never received the check? Maybe your check was returned, lost, or even worse...destroyed.
    You can still get your refund if the refund statute date has not expired. You need to fill out IRS Form 3911.
    Your first resort should be - Where is My Refund? and then pulling your IRS transcripts - www.americasfa...

    I faxed the form yesterday. How can you know if they received the form and process it? And how long does it typically take for them to process? Thank you!

    My wife did an aduit and on her transcript it's supposed to be a 9,100,000.00 or 9.1 million sent in a paper check from form 8888. She never received the check. I would love to have a conversation about this if at possible

      @gnett1022 my assumption is that the Allocation of Refund form is incorrect with an amount like $9.1 million. But if that's accurate and less than 3 years old by all means please book a consultation at www.Bowenstaxsolutions.com

    Hi there. Thanks a lot for the video. It helped a lot. But I do have a question that if my refund check is lost, will I only get a new check rather than changing the type of refund as direct deposit? Thanks for you time!

      You're welcome! They'll send it via check again.

      It's a rough time to have to do phone communication with the IRS. When you mailed it did you send it certified? If not that's my recommendation so you have proof that you sent it.

    • @AmericasFavEA
      @AmericasFavEA  3 місяці тому

      You can confirm it was received if you sent it certified. The most recent one I did for a client took about 29 days from the day I mailed it until they received their refund.

    I received the first stimulus check. never cashed it and it expired. i filled out a recovery rebate credit for it (which the irs told me i shouldnt have). The lady on the phone told me to fill out this form and fax it. Does that sound right to you? am i still eligble? should i select the "lost" box in my case?
