Hundreds of Maryland taxpayers are being sought by the Internal Revenue Service and state comptroller's office -- not for unpaid taxes, but because their refund checks were returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable.
Maryland Comptroller Louis L. Goldstein said his office is holding 1,749 undelivered checks totaling $346,760, with refunds ranging from $1 to $12,338. The average amount is $198.
The federal agency has 1,452 undelivered checks for residents of Maryland and the District of Columbia who are due a total of $876,031. The amounts range from $1 to $12,819, and the average is $603.
"In these tough economic times, it's important that this money get back to the taxpayers and then back into our economy as soon as possible," Mr. Goldstein said.
H. J. Hightower, the IRS district director for Maryland and the District of Columbia, said the taxpayers may have moved or changed their last names and did not notify the tax agencies, or the addresses on the return may have been illegible.
Anyone who is expecting a federal refund check for 1991 or a prior year and has not already contacted the IRS is asked to call 962-2590 from the Baltimore area or (800) 829-1040 from elsewhere in Maryland.
For state refund inquiries, the number is (410) 974-3701.
The names of the taxpayers due refund checks are listed by zip code.
