    There are two ways to retrieve undeliverable checks. Those include:

    Going online to www.irs.gov

    Calling 1-800-829-1954

The Internal Revenue Service is looking to reunite people with their undelivered tax refunds.

Mailing address errors kept more than 9,000 Texas taxpayers from receiving more than $9.7 million in refunds, according to an IRS news release.

Nationwide, there were 107,831 undeliverable checks, valued at a combined $123.5 million.

Taxpayers can remedy the situation with an address update, and there are two ways to go about it.

Online, they can visit www.IRS.gov and click the "Where's My Refund?" tool. After submitting a Social Security number, filing status and amount of refund indicated on the 2008 return, the site displays the refund status and sometimes offers ways to resolve delivery issues.

Changes are also available over the phone, by calling 1-800-829-1954.

The sooner people update their information, the sooner they receive their refunds, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said in the news release.

"We are eager to get this money into the hands of taxpayers, so don't delay if you think you are missing a refund," he said.

Undeliverable checks average $1,148, up from last year's $990, according to the release. Some taxpayers have more than one undeliverable check on file.
