The taxman is looking for 708 Kansans, but to return money –- more than half a million dollars overall.
On Thursday, the Internal Revenue Service released its list of taxpayers whose refund checks have been returned to the department. The average amount owed to Kansans is $837, a department release said.
Most often, the checks are returned because the person filing has moved for some reason, such as a college student or couples who got married or divorced, said Michael Devine, IRS spokesman for Kansas and Missouri.
In Sedgwick County, the IRS has been unable to deliver refund checks to 118 people, totaling $80,488, for an average refund of $682. That is down from 2008 when the department could not return checks to 125 people who were owed $774 on average.
In Butler County there were 10 returned checks, Harvey County had five and Sumner County had six. The IRS does not calculate an average refund in counties where fewer than 10 people are owed money.
The list only contains of people who received their refund check by mail, Devine said. Anyone questioning if they are owed money by the federal government can check the status of their refund at irs.gov. To check the status of a refund, people will need their Social Security Number, filing status and the amount of their refund.
People can also change their address online.
