Your check did not come from TurboTax. TurboTax never touches your refund in any way.
What is Refund Processing Service?
When you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, the refund goes through a third party bank first, and then that bank sends you the rest of your refund. If something goes wrong with the direct deposit---like a closed account, wrong routing or account number, etc. -- then the refund is sent back to the third party bank. The third party bank then issues and mails you a check, which you have to deposit or cash. It sounds like that is what may have happened for you. So....if you do not have an existing bank account to use, it may be difficult for you to cash that check. You could open an account at a bank and deposit the check, wait for it to clear and then get your money out, or you can try cashing it at various places---we have heard from other users that they have been able to cash those checks at Walmart.
