The IRS has more than $4 million in refund checks that have been returned as undeliverable. The money is owed to more than 3,600 Illinois taxpayers.
A spokeswoman for the IRS in Illinois says the average undelivered refund is about $1,100.
Spokeswoman Sue Hales says all the IRS needs is an updated address so the checks can be reissued.
The IRS says people can avoid delivery problems by having the money directly deposited into their bank accounts.
Taxpayers can check to see if they’re owed cash by visiting the IRS website and clicking on the "Where’s My Refund" link.
