I filed my tax return some time ago and was supposed to get a refund but I have not received it. Can I call the IRS to find out what is happening? How do I call?

Renee, you do not even need to call. Simply go out to the IRS website, fill out a couple of questions and they will give you the status of your refund. Here is a hot link. Let me know if you have any problems.

NOW THAT’S SOME REFUND
Laura Schultz was expecting to hear from the IRS. After all, the Denver-area house cleaner owed the IRS about $80. But when she opened up a letter from the IRS, it wasn’t quite was she was expecting: a refund check for $122,783.51.
Schultz felt that it was a mistake – and it was. She called the IRS and they told her to destroy the check, which she did.
Of course, I know what you’re thinking: why didn’t she just keep the check? Because she knew better. I’ve gotten this call more than once from a client. The IRS always figures it out eventually (it’s pretty hard to misplace more than $100,000 for long) and you’re then stuck with repaying the principal plus interest.
And trust me, that’s not a letter that you want to get…Larry Kopsa CPA

WHERE IS MY REFUND?
I filed my 2008 taxes and was supposed to get a refund. Is there a way that I can check the status?

I hope that you get your refund soon.
