How to Cash an IRS Check

IRS refund checks can be cashed at almost all financial institutions.

IRS refunds can be electronically deposited into your bank account or sent out in check form. An IRS refund check is just like a regular check that you deposit into your bank account or cash out. Nearly all financial institutions accept them, and you will generally not have any problems cashing the check.

Instructions

1. Sign the back of the check.

2. Take the check to your financial institution.

3. Tell the bank teller you would like to cash the check or deposit it into your checking or savings account. You may need identification, such as a driver's license, to confirm your identity.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also take the check to companies that offer check cashing services, such as Wal-Mart, but the check usually cannot be more than $1000.
