Where to Mail Form 3911?

Usually, the IRS sends Form IRS 3911 to taxpayers who have contacted the IRS because they have not received their refunds. The IRS will enclose an envelope with the correct return address for the applicant to use to send the form back to the IRS. However, if you have not received these instructions from the IRS, you may direct the form to the IRS center where you normally submit a paper tax return. Some individuals prefer to fax their tax returns and statements, but you can only receive a fax number from the IRS representative who specifically requests information from you. So, unless the IRS provides you with an IRS Form 3911 fax number, you cannot fax it.
