What if my stimulus check was sent to my old address?
Question: What do I do if my stimulus payment was sent to a former address? According to the IRS, if your payment can’t be delivered to you for any reason, it will be returned to the IRS and your payment status will update to “Need More Information.” To get your payment reissued, you can then set up a direct deposit.

Do IRS checks get forwarded?

If you don’t think you will receive it in time, you could try to contact the IRS and state tax authority to see if they can help you before your refund is processed. Also, you can submit a Form 8822 to change your address with the IRS.
