<prompt> Human: So i did my taxes, and messed up on my routing direct deposit number. So the bank sent back the refund the irs issued, and in 3 weeks or so i paper check will be arriving at my door, ripe for the stealing for any passerby.I wont be home, ill still be states away still for the next 3 months and there is nobody where i live whom i would trust with this check really. I have a apartment is a somewhat sketchy part of town and i doubt very highly a 12,000 plus check sitting in a mailbox will last long.Can i call the irs and resubmit the routing number? Do i have any options besides getting home in late june and submitting a refund form for my check which i absalutely know will not be there?  <response>: What are you doing with the rest of your mail for the next 3 months? Your best bet is a requesting a mail hold through your post office.
