The IRS may have money waiting for you!
In a statement released last week, the gov-ment is pretty much begging taxpayers to take money off their hands. They are holding on to $163 million in stimulus checks and $103 million in tax refund checks, thus approximately 383,000 taxpayers are missing out on some much needed cash flow. It seems the address the IRS mailed the checks to were incorrect and need updating. If you moved after filing your tax return, you have to contact the IRS to change your address, gov-ment checks are not forwarded regardless of whether you have a change of address form with the post office or not. 
I know in these times, it seems highly unlikely that anybody would leave money floating around but normally the IRS gets stuck holding checks when an incorrect address is given or there’s a divorce, child support or other court issues. There are several ways to fix this little problem and to get your check in the mail. You can simply call 1-866-829-1954 or visit www.irs.gov or “Where’s my Refund” or “Where’s My Stimulus”.
There is a deadline for the stimulus checks, November 28, 2008 because by law they have to mailed by December 31, 2008, the average check is $583 and the average tax refund check is $988. So get that money.
