The Internal Revenue Service has $15 million in federal tax refunds for Floridians – but it can’t find those taxppayers.
Undelivered refunds await 10,024 Florida taxpayers, the IRS announced this week.

“In Florida, the average undeliverable refund is $1,538,” said IRS spokesman Mike Dobzinski.
To figure out if the IRS has a refund waiting for you, the Sun Sentinel created a searchable database with all the names of those with undelivered refunds in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. The amount of the refund is not posted.

You can check out our IRS Refund Search site at www.sunsentinel.com/refunds.

You can also go to www.irs.gov and click on “Where's my refund?” to check your status.

If you find your name on the list, call the IRS refund hotline and you'll get instructions on how to update your address.

The hotline number is 800-829-1954. Be prepared to give your Social Security number, your filing status and some other details from your 2008 tax return.

There is no deadline for claiming your refund.
