Hi, I just wanted to add onto this thread with my experience.
My wife and I filed "Married Filing Jointly" for our 2021 Tax Year. She is still in the midst of the immigration process, so not quite yet a PR. Anyway we received, our check made out to ["PII REMOVED"]. I went to cash it into to my bank account and was told my wife needed to sign it since I dont have a joint account with her.
I called the IRS and requested that they re-issue a check with "Liam OR Sandra" but they said they could not do that.
