I've called numerous times, and ask for "payment tracing" agent, EVERY single time its a busy line, so its near IMPOSSIBLE to talk to them first. RECOMMEND ONLY OPTION 2.

Ya I have the same issue

Hi! Fantastic video. Thank you. I live abroad and lost my first stimulus check (EIP1). I’m preparing the 3911 form to fax in. If it came as a check, can I ask for direct deposit? I remember the first check was for $1400, but in the list it says $1200 is the maximum payment for the first stimulus check. Should I leave the amount blank online 7, or should I write the actual amount that was on the check (1400)? Thank you again! 😀

Thank you for video. Question, Can you send this form 3911 if it was for a business? It was for a ERTC Credit and we did receive a copy of the cashed check from IRS. It was stolen and cashed. Been back and forth with IRS. They said to call the Bureau of Fiscal Service to file a claim. We did call and the Bureau said that the IRS has to put a code on our file.

Thanks for the video! Could you direct me to where the mailing address for form 3911 in MA is located on the IRS website? I've been looking everywhere and can't find this information. Thanks!

[@stevek4957]

Thanks for this video. I was wondering what the top part was about. I received a refund check, but it was made out to my deceased wife's first name, middle initial, and nothing more. It's impossible to contact the IRS by phone these days.

Hi! I have question on section I question #7 about refund amount, are they asking only for federal tax return or do i add up my state tax return? If not can I also use this form 3911 to request for my state tax return? Meaning i will have 2 forms to send to the irs am I right?

[@gracecole1]

Thank you. This was perfect.

[@JasonDKnott]

Glad to hear it was helpful. Thank you for watching!

[@HafsahKhan-vu7wn]

If one does not remember the "Date Filed" in line 7, what should one write there? I only remember the month and year I probably filed. Please help 🙏🏻

[@HaliJay100]

How do you track it once it's sent in

[@keymoniemcdowell1907]

Is there a fax number for the IRS?

[@allanselson9147]

You have not told me how to find my IRS office in California where to send the comleted form to. As well as you have not addressed the fact as what to do if No refunds were received 😢

[@tseringlama5356]

How long does it take after filing form 3911 to receive the refund.

[@almondereid9905]

What department would you send this form too?

[@user-kh5ig4tr9y]

Good keep it up 👍

[@JasonDKnott]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@harrychang6779]

Thank you for your quality video. I need to claim 3 missing checks for 1q, 2q, 3q 2021 ERC with 3911 form. Can I claim all three checks on one 3911 form if so, how could be filled in Section I, 7?

[@JasonDKnott]

No, you should file a separate Form 3911 for each check.

[@PLUGTV10K]

@@JasonDKnott I just faxed mine for all QTRs, how long should I wait before calling IRS to follow up?

[@albertoperaza1187]

i never recieved my third impact payment, did the rebate instead of this on my taxes and got error, is sending this going to fix this? any help?

[@JasonDKnott]

The EIP3 payment should first be claimed on the 2021 tax return if you never received the payment. If you claimed the payment and the IRS adjusted your tax return because they believe you already received the payment, you should first call the IRS to speak with a representative and start a payment trace. Then file the Form 3911.

Any luck

[@almondereid9905]

What’s the fax number

[@chinakingsing]

I called 100 tines to IRS never got an agent. I signed as single can I fill out the form?

[@JasonDKnott]

If you are a single filing taxpayer, you can complete Form 3911 and sign by yourself. It is only in cases where taxpayers filed a joint tax return (Married Filing Jointly) where both taxpayers would need to sign.

[@chinakingsing]

@@JasonDKnott Thanks very much for u answer.

[@YhwhIsNumber1]

What if you want to receive it direct deposit?

[@JasonDKnott]

You can enter direct deposit details on the phone, but we recommend the paper treasury checks as they seem to be more reliable when it comes to requesting another check

[@carloscanario3519]

Wondering if I can just fax the form in... Anyone?

[@FreddaKing85]

Yes you can

[@paulaspeaksthetruth530]

Impossible to talk to a human I filed claim pray to god I get it

Yikes that's not good. Getting a live person at the IRS is like winning the lottery....

[@mishicabryan5352]

Can this form be fax 📠?

Yes! The IRS will accept the Form 3911 by U.S. mail or by fax
