After you file

@Wh347 Instead of trying to just "cash" the check--- open an actual bank account and deposit the check.   Wait for the check to clear and then withdraw money as needed.

 

Going forward---instead of involving a third party bank, pay your software fees upfront when you prepare and file your tax return.   

 

Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site
