If a refund check is returned to the IRS as

of their refunds. A taxpayer must submit his or her social security number,
filing status and amount of refund shown on their 2008 return. The tool will
provide the status of their refund and in some cases provide instructions on how
to resolve delivery problems.
Taxpayers checking on a refund over the phone will be
given instructions on how to update their addresses. Taxpayers can access a
telephone version of €œWhere€™s My Refund?€ by calling
1-800-829-1954.
