Refund Inquiries made to the Internal Revenue Service
Question: Is it possible to find out if a federal tax refund check has been cashed?
Answer: If you need to know whether your federal tax refund check has been cashed, you can initiate a trace on your refund by one of the following methods:
You can go to the “Where’s my Refund” system available through www.irs.gov and request assistance.
You can call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1954 and either use the automated system or speak with an agent.
If you filed a Married Filing Joint return, you cannot initiate a trace using automation, but the IRS will issue you a Form 3911 (PDF), Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund. Be advised this process could take up to six weeks to complete.
If you are trying to obtain a photocopy of your refund check because of a dispute over the proceeds, call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1954 and request assistance.
If you are inquiring about a check that was issued to someone other than yourself, the IRS is not allowed under the Privacy Act of 1974 to disclose any information.
