According to the IRS, taxpayers who might have a stimulus check coming their way need to update their address by November 28th, as by law, the checks must be sent out by December 31st. Taxpayers who can’t go online to make the updates can also call 1-866-234-2942.
Most of the stimulus checks they’re holding average $583, while regular refund checks average $988. To update your address, go to the IRS’ “Where’s My Refund?” tool to check the status of a refund. You can also access a telephone version of “Where’s My Refund?” by calling 1-800-829-1954.
