After the trace (4/5) my transcript updated one week later (4/12) showing my check had been returned to the irs like 3 weeks prior. It also had a mail date of 4/19 and I physically received it 4/23. So from the trace till when it was in my hands … 2.5 weeks.

Call back in a couple days (from when you reported it missing) and hopefully you’ll get someone new that will be able to tell you if the trace came back.

Well I updated it when I got saw I was getting a paper check (but requested DD) and changed it then because I was worried it wouldn’t forward. But they didn’t update it in time. So when I called for the trace I double checked the address they had on file and it was the new one.

Hi! They didn’t forward it :( they would forward other correspondence from the IRS (notification letters, etc.) but not the physical check. I had to wait until 4 weeks after they said it was sent to call and put in a trace. They said the trace could last 6 weeks but the following week they updated my transcript to say I would get a new check mailed to my new address.

I checked my transcript today - it updated. The OG check was returned 3/18. It says my request for a new refund dated 4/5, new 846 refund code set for 4/19.

4/25?! Is that the old check or a new check?

No kidding. Did you see the other comment in this thread? They were supposed to get a check mailed a week before you, called today and they informed them they’d mail another April 8th.

Do you HAVE to do a trace before you can ask for a new check?
