The IRS is contacting your because their records indicate there is an outstanding refund check issued to the taxpayer - the refund check is outdated and no longer valid. If you still have the check, destroy it and contact the IRS to receive a new refund check. If the check is lost contact the IRS at the number on the notice to verify your information and receive a new refund check (if you filed a joint return, the IRS will send a copy to each spouse that contains the same information).

Sections of the Notice:

• Explanation - The IRS records indicate that you may have an outdated, non-negotiable refund check and they want to issue a replacement.
• Response - The IRS needs to be contacted to verify your information before sending a new refund check. Contact them at the number in the header section.
