Are You Owed an IRS Stimulus Check? Find Out Here.

Remember yesterday when Eileen told you that if you're missing your stimulus check, it could be that the Internal Revenue Service has the wrong address for you?

Eileen says "the IRS is holding more than 4,200 stimulus checks and more than 1,500 tax refunds belonging to Marylanders. The U.S. Postal Service was unable to deliver them because of an incorrect address and returned the checks to the IRS."

All told, that’s more than $4 million waiting to be claimed. If you think you might be among the missing checks, click this handy-dandy link that our tech whizzes whipped up to help you find out if you're on the list of Marylanders owed a refund or stimulus check.

Also, Eileen warns that you need to update your address with the IRS by Nov. 28 to get your check this year.

You can change your address here on the IRS Web site.  

Just for giggles, I plugged my name and zip in... Alas, I am owed nothing. (sigh)
