Unclaimed Money

IRS will not forward refund checks. So to be sure to receive refunds and other correspondence make sure to keep your address current with the IRS.
If you change your address after filing your return you may complete a Form 8822, Address Change Request, and send it to the address shown on the form. You should download Form 8822 from the IRS website (www.irs.gov) or order it by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM ( 1-800-829-3676 ).

Make sure your family members are current as well. Often elderly family members stop filing tax returns and may move. Make sure they are not missing out on money due them. Other good places to check for lost cash are these two websites:

www.missingmoney.com
www.unclaimed.org

Play around and see if you can find some free money!
