The "Where's My Refund?" section at www.irs.gov provides information about refunds and is available on the IRS home page.
Taxpayers without access to the Internet who think they may be missing a refund should first check their records or contact their tax preparer before calling the IRS toll-free assistance line at (800) 829-1040 to update their address.
To check for refunds at www.irs.gov, taxpayers enter information that includes their Social Security number, filing status (such as single or married filing jointly) and the refund amount shown on their 2004 tax return.
When the information is submitted online, taxpayers can find the status of their refund and, in many cases, also get instructions they need to resolve problems.
