No tax return? Check mailing address on your form City seeking applicants for council
Thousands of tax year 2001
refunds have been returned to
the Oregon Department of Rev
enue because of incorrect mail
ing addresses.
“Most of the refunds that
come back to us are for taxpay
ers who moved after filing their
returns," explained Joan Linn,
manager of the departm ent’s
Tax Services Unit. “ If they didn’t
give us a new address or leave
forwarding address with the
postal service, it’s likely that
they did not get their refund.”
The department encourages
L
taxpayers to update their ad
dresses with the department
when they move. “Address up
dates are im portant year
around, not just during tax sea
son,” Linn said. “We send re
funds, notices and other infor
mation throughout the year.”
If a new address is not avail-
able, the department adds the
taxpayer’s name to the list of
unclaimed refunds on its Web
site (www.dor.state.or.us).
To make an address change,
taxpayers may use a change-
of-address form, available on
