You lost your refund check how do you get a new one?
Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. They will be able to trace the check to make sure that it wasn't cashed and if they can verify that it was not, they will mail you a new one. If your check WAS cashed, you will have to fill out a long form (about 8 pages) regarding the incident and certifying, under penalty of perjury, that you did not cash the check. That happened to a friend of mine, mail was mis-delivered and we think the neighbor cashed it....it was a long process, but she did eventually get a replacement check.

General George McClellan during the Civil War, General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War, and now, General McChrystal. McClellan was an arrogant, but brilliant general, replaced by the drunken idiot Ulysses S. Grant. MacArthur led the fight to defeat the Japanese in World War II. McChrystal is a supremely intelligent, extremely skilled warrior who had the misfortune and, perhaps, bad judgement, to speak his mind in front of a reporter from Rolling Stone. Whether he was right or wrong is not under debate. In our free country, you're not allowed to think the President is a dunce.
