Many people are still waiting to receive their $1200 Stimulus Check or tax refund. Some have been waiting since March. The reasons for the delay can be many:

– the paper U.S. tax return may have been lost in the mail;

– it is still being processed – there is still a huge backlog of paper tax returns that are waiting to be processed;

– the Stimulus Check/tax refund check was mailed by the IRS (the U.S. tax department) but it was lost in the mail or is still on its way. Mail from the U.S to Europe is taking 4-6 weeks to arrive, and sometimes even more.

If you are one of these persons, you can contact the IRS to check why you still have not received your Stimulus Check or tax refund. Please see below.
