Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Maybe the check was something besides a refund - there are scams where people will file a return for you and then call to tell you it was a mistake and you need to wire it somewhere. Do not fall for any scams and send the money anywhere else.

 

You will need to contact your state department and find out why they sent you a check before you file your tax return. If someone else has filed a return for you, you will need to report the incident. Good luck!
