If you mean that you think you have an IRA somewhere, but lost track of where, you could order a copy of your prior Form 5498 forms from the IRS. These forms are issued every year and report your year end balance. The 2012 5498 forms are not issued until late May. but as of now the IRS would have the 2011 forms showing where your IRAs were on 12/31/2011. But you also get a copy of these forms unless they are returned due to incorrect current address.
