AnnieR Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have been e-filing since it began...seems like a lifetime ago...but I have never run into this before and want to make sure I do this right before I file the return. I do know the client (in a small town you know most people's business), she doesn't have a bank account, lives with her boyfriend but does not use his address for her personal mail, she does have a PO Box. Will the IRS mail a refund check to a PO Box? Or am I just making things more difficult than they are? TIA AnnieR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I see no reason the IRS would not mail the refund check to post office box. I'm sure I have had some in the past that went to a PO box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMalody Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 The Form 1040 instructions indicate not to use a PO Box in the entity section, however, the returns I have had in the past with a PO Box they have mailed the checks to them.

Jack from Ohio Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 We have many small towns that the only address they have is a PO Box. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a client who has never had anything other than a PO Box and it has never been a problem. (Lives in a very small town as indicated above). I just never thought about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
