Are you due a refund from the IRS?

Where's my refund?The Internal Revenue Service is looking for hundreds of area taxpayers who have not received refund checks.

Refund checks were returned by the Postal Service to the IRS because of mailing errors.

The number of taxpayers involved includes 213 in Jackson County, 58 in Clay, 35 in Platte, and 20 in Cass.

In Kansas, 176 taxpayers were affected in Johnson County, 48 in Wyandotte, and 11 in Leavenworth County.

The average refund amount ranged from $315 in Wyandotte County to $1,117 in Platte County.

"We want to get this money to the people it belongs to," said IRS spokesman Michael Devine. "Checks are often returned to the IRS because a life change, such as marriage or divorce, causes an address change."

Taxpayers can check their refund status by going to IRS.gov and clicking on "Where's My Refund?. Or call the IRS refund hotline at 800-829-1954.

If you've moved since filing your last return, consider filing Form 8822, Change of Address, with the IRS. Download the form from the IRS Web site or call 800-829-3676.
