Don't cash the check and definitely don't destroy it.
The IRS has not addressed this yet. They will not open until February 12 and at that time they will start to see situations like yours. You would not be able to amend until that time and in the meantime, they may establish a guideline.

Same mine was direct deposit.
I would suggest sending it back to the IRS with note explaining that you reported the missing payment in Turbo tax and expect a credit.
Please review this IRS link and read the section entitled When returning a paper check that was not cashed or deposited taxpayers should: In that section is an IRS link that will tell you the nearest IRS location to mail the check to.

Followed this thread for what to do and ended up getting screwed. Voided the check and sent it back to the approproate address and then my refund ended up getting changed by the IRS because they already sent out the check. So now Ive received no second stimulus at all because the IRS couldnt just properly release informatino to begin with. Im betting I'll never get the $600 at this point.
The IRS only issued official guidance March 1, 2021 regarding this scenario. Many taxpayers are in the same predicament.
You can get your money, and should not be penalized for trying to do the right thing in a timely manner. For instructions on how to proceed, see:
