Could the IRS be trying to send you money?

The Internal Revenue Service is looking for Tennesseans who are due to receive a combined $1.77 million in the form of 1,849 refund checks that were returned to the IRS by the U.S. Postal Service due to mailing address errors.
“IRS wants to get these checks to their owners as quickly as possible,” said IRS spokesman Dan Boone. “All you have to do is update your address to get your refund check reissued.”
The Internal Revenue Service is looking for 397 Nebraskans and 555 Iowans — but not because they owe the taxman money.
In fact, it’s the other way around. These taxpayers had their tax refund checks returned to the agency as undeliverable, IRS officials said Thursday.
In Nebraska, the checks total $359,002 and average about $904 a check. Douglas County leads the state in the number of unclaimed refunds, 141, which average $1,040 a check and total $146,693.
In Iowa, the checks total $495,001, averaging $894 a check. Polk County leads that state with 103 unclaimed refunds, averaging $811 a check and totaling $82,753.
Nationwide, 107,831 taxpayers had about $124 million in refunds returned to the IRS, an average of about $1,148 per check.
Tax refund checks often are returned as undeliverable when taxpayers move without notifying the IRS or the U.S. Postal Service.
“We want to make sure taxpayers get the money that’s waiting for them,” said IRS spokesman Christopher Miller. “Maybe you got married or moved and just forgot to update your information with the IRS.
”Taxpayers can update their addresses and claim refunds in several ways."
