The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) generally locates most of the taxpayers who are due these refunds and sends the refunds to them. For those taxpayers who are not located, IRS credits the refund amount to each taxpayer's account for future action should the taxpayers contact IRS about their refund or file a subsequent tax form with a new address. This testimony focuses on the extent and causes of undeliverable refunds, IRS' efforts to resolve undeliverable refunds, and IRS' continuing efforts to reduce undeliverable mail. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-94-186/html/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-94-186.htm GAO/T-GGD-94-186 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-94-186 Testimony GAO/T-GGD-94-186; Undelivered Tax Refunds: IRS' Handling of Undelivered Income Tax Refund Checks; Tax refunds Tax administration Mail delivery problems Intergovernmental relations Check disbursement or control Taxpayers Tax administration systems IRS Tax System Modernization Program TSM
