Where Is Our IRS Tax Refund?
If you are missing a Income Tax Return payment in the mail, or one that should have been deposited into your bank account, go to the US government website called, “Where’s My Refund”. Simply type those words into your Internet search bar to get started. The IRS keeps the site open all year long to allow tax filers to track tax refunds.
The IRS often hears the question, “Where is our federal refund?” The crooks are always working hard around tax filing time to try to trick you out of your tax refund payments. If you have a missing federal refund check, do not wait in hopes that it might show up someday, go straight to the US government website “Where’s My Refund” and find out where it is.
The program on the US government website is very easy to use. It requires that the US citizen identify themselves with a social security # to be collected and other information that only the tax payer making out the tax information would know. You and your tax preparer both have had access to this documentation.
It is never wise to use a tax service to prepare your income taxes that are offering tax return refunds that seem too high to be real, or ones that offer other gimmicks that go above simply filling in your paperwork for a fee. It is too easy for everybody that would like to become a tax preparation criminal to open their own professional looking Website.

Some of the scams on the list are things that they are seeing in house, and ways that people try to cheat on their federal taxes. Other things on the list are ways that tax preparation or tax refund checks are ending up being used in frauds.
If your IRS tax refund check is gone, and it cannot be found inside of the IRS, “Where’s My Refund” program, then you might have been a victim to one of the various frauds or scams that are going around.
