The IRS Wants to Give You Money - Maybe
The IRS is reporting that more than 383,000 regular refund and economic stimulus checks have been returned as undeliverable by the Postal Service. Taxpayers whose economic stimulus checks are not in the mail by Dec. 31 will lose out, because by law the checks cannot be sent out after that date. If you're expecting a check and haven't received it yet, browse over to the IRS's website and use the Stimulus Payment tool. Addressing errors must be corrected by Nov. 28 in order for checks to be processed in time. The "Where's My Stimulus Payment" tool provides instructions on how to update your address if needed or you can call (866) 234-2942.
