My AZ state tax refund was processed and issued, received a 'USPS Informed Delivery' notice with a photo of the AZ Dept of Revenue mailing but it never showed up in my mailbox. We have a central community mailbox (~50 residents), sometimes the mail gets placed in the wrong box but always gets straightened out, in 25 years never had a mailing or package not received. Not really sure what happened, maybe it was picked up or lost during the USPS handling before it even reached the mail box. It's possible a neighbor got it by mistake but hard to imagine why they would hold on to it or try to cash it with the risk that comes with it, I do live in a fairly upscale residential neighborhood. Not really sure how to proceed, I did notify USPS that the mailing wasn't received but haven't heard back. Haven't contacted the state yet so that's probably my next step. Will the state issue a new refund check if one was lost or not received? This was the first time in years that I received a refund from the state, I always owed money in previous years.
