Use this address when you want to connect to your network from other places on the Internet.nstructions. Launch a Web browser. Navigate to a site that displays your public IP address, such as MyIPAddress.com (myipaddress.com), WhatIsMyIP.com (whatismyip.com) or Foursquare Innovations (foursquareinnovations.co.uk/IP.php).
You'll also receive an e-mail confirmation directly from the IRS. However, if you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS recommends that you wait three weeks before you begin checking your refund status. Most taxpayers who e-file will receive their tax refund sooner. Step 2 - Obtain a copy of your tax return.
Processing of prior year tax return take 6-12 weeks from the date IRS received your return, (IRS does rush to process prior years, since the taxpayer was in no hurry to file) and the REFUND WILL NOT be DD, DD is only for current tax year. The refund can only be mailed to you at the address you listed on the 2008 return.
