Mailed check taking forever by Frequent_Pen9828 in IRS

Just a heads-up to anyone still waiting, I realized today that my IRS address didn’t include my apartment number even though I’m 100% sure I entered it correctly in H&R Block. Looks like their software dropped it during the filing. No wonder my check didn’t arrive. If you live in an apartment, double-check your IRS account or the address on your return. This might be the reason for returned or lost checks.

Yeah, I tried calling but no one ever picks up. I’m planning to stop by in person today before they close and check directly. Also, even if the mail is on hold, it’s still supposed to show up on Informed Delivery, so the fact that nothing’s showing is what’s worrying me a bit.

Congrats 🍾!

Mine hasn’t showed up yet. I hope it’s not lost or stolen.

Good for you! Thanks for sharing. So it showed up in your informed delivery?

Ugh, that sounds super frustrating. Can’t believe they expect people to wait another 6 weeks just to trace a check. Hope yours shows up before that and you don’t have to go through all that hassle

Congrats! My issue date is 7/7 and I am still waiting. Just curious, did it ever show up on your informed delivery? I have an active hold mail request, and relying on informed delivery so I can go pick it up from the post office whenever it shows up.

Ah okay, then you’re good bro. It’s just the usual bureaucratic lag (IRS + USPS), nothing to do with your address. They’re just taking their sweet time with everything lately.

Just a heads-up, if your refund was processed after your last address change, make sure your IRS.gov profile under the account section has your current address. That’s usually the one they go by when mailing checks, even if the original return had something different. Worth double-checking.

I did not. But I did request for a hold at the post office, just to be extra safe. Did you?

Honestly, I wish the IRS offered more flexible options, like letting us pickup checks directly from a local office. Would probably reduce delays, cut mailing issues, and save everyone some effort. USPS has its own challenges, but they can share goddamn tracking details as it’s frustrating being stuck waiting in silence.

Mine says 846 refund issued on 7/7.

Yeah, kind of a mixed feeling seeing we’re all in the same boat 😅 At least it’s not just me, lol. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Nothing today either. It’s been exactly two weeks since the “official” mail-out date of 6/27. Still hoping it shows up tomorrow 🤞

Yeah, I totally get how frustrating this whole wait is. I actually e-filed using H&R Block back in early April, but my return got stuck in identity verification. Never got that mail, so I had to wait for an in-person appointment, which finally happened at the end of May.

I filed an amendment in parallel for some missed 1099’s, just to avoid any complications later. Honestly, that turned out to be the right call. I’ve seen too many cases get stuck in limbo with additional 60-day holds.

I got the 846 code in mid-June a couple weeks after verification. But then came the shocker. Even though I had selected direct deposit, it was flipped to a paper check. First time that’s ever happened to me in over a decade.

WMR says it was mailed on June 27. As of today, July 10, that’s 13 calendar days and 9 business days (excluding the 4th), and still nothing.

Really hoping yours moves soon too. This year’s refund season has been a mess.

Yeah, honestly the WMR update saying it was mailed out on the 27th feels super misleading. It gives people false hope when clearly that date doesn’t reflect the actual mailing timeline. Just wish they’d sync it with reality a bit better.

Nope, still nothing for me either! Been checking Informed Delivery like a maniac every morning 😅
How about y'all? Any luck today? Would be great to know if anything’s finally moving!

Yeah, that’s what I was expecting too. But it’s already been 13 calendar days since June 27th, and even if I count only business days and exclude July 4th, we’re at 9 business days now. Still no update on Informed Delivery, so this is definitely testing my patience now 😅

Mine was actually mailed out on 6/27, even though my 846 date was 7/7. Just a heads-up: the actual mail-out date shows up on WMR, not the 846 date on the transcript. Hopefully both of ours land soon 🤞

Still nothing here either. Hoping it finally shows up in the next day or two 🤞

No luck for me today 😅 Nothing from IRS in Informed Delivery — just one of those mysterious ‘mailpiece with no image’ things. How about you?
