The Internal Revenue Service said Tuesday that it is seeking to send checks to Virginians for undelivered tax refunds totaling more than $2.1 million. The agency said it has been unable to deliver the checks because of errors in mailing addresses.

Slightly more than 1,900 residents of Virginia are due refunds, averaging more than $1,100 per person.

Virginians who believe they are due a check should go to the agency's "Where's my refund?" tool, at www.irs.gov/individuals, or call 1-800-829-1954. To avoid problems with receiving returns, the IRS recommends that taxpayers file returns online and choose to receive refunds by direct deposit.
