Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

No bank account and the second person on my refund check is out of state though they endorsed the check before leaving. Can I cash the check without them present?

The second person on my refund check (filed jointly) endorsed check, but left state. I do not have a bank account at the moment, and still need the money. Where can I go to have this cashed, as I don't have any tentative date for their return. We didn't think it would be an issue.

Whoever you ask to cash the check has no way of knowing if the correct person signed it.

You will probably have to get your spouse to give you a Power of Attorney.
