Preprinted labels contain computer coded information. Do not use the preprinted address label if the information is no longer correct.
A name change can have an impact on your taxes and delay your refund. Notify us of your name change as soon as possible and include legal documentation (i.e. marriage certificate, divorce decree).
If we issued a check and the bank will not allow you to cash it (i.e. name error, stale-dated), you can request a replacement in writing along with a reason and supporting documentation.
If your name is misspelled on your check, you can request the check be reissued with the correct spelling. To complete this request, you will need to provide a written request that includes your Social Security number, daytime phone number, and a copy of your government issued photo ID. If your legal name has changed due to marriage or divorce, you must also provide a copy of a legal document showing the name change. Return the original check (do not write void on it) with your written request.
If a replacement check is required on behalf of a deceased taxpayer, we only can reissue the check in the original payee’s name, in the name of their estate, or in the name of a surviving spouse if the surviving spouse’s name appeared on the original check. You must send written request and include the following:
If you misplaced a refund or rebate check or found a stale-dated check from us, you can submit a written request for replacement. Include your full name, Social Security number, and daytime phone number. If your legal name has changed due to marriage or divorce, you must also provide a copy of a legal document showing the name change. If you have the original check, do not write void on it. Include it with your written request.
If you do not have the original check, you can request a check tracer. A check tracer places a stop payment on the original, so you will not be able to cash it if you find it later.
You have three ways to submit your request.
