Where are you trying to cash your check? If you have an actual bank account at a brick and mortar bank, you could simply deposit the check and wait for the check to clear and use the money as needed, like people do with normal checking accounts. Do you not have a bank account? Are you just going to "check cashing" places that charge a fee to cash a check?

Same issues here! It’s crazy. Walmart said they couldn’t cash it because it was showing “fraudulent instrument”. What is going on?? The check cashing place cashed it but called me back to say they couldn’t verify with the phone number on the check. My info could not be found. Is there another lawsuit about to happen? And before someone gets smart- no- I don’t have a bank account. I am currently in the middle of changing banks due to a divorce.

It's out of Turbotax's hands to deal with your situation.

were you expecting a refund? Was it what yo were expecting? Maybe your spouse filed and claimed the refund. Also, there are many refund scams going around including the issuance of fake refub=nd checks to taxpayers. then a person saying they are with the IRS calls and says you must return the money using personal funds.

> Do not deposit or cash the check until you have confirmed its authenticity with the IRS.
> Contact the IRS directly by calling their toll-free numbers: 800-829-1040 (for individuals) or 800-829-4933 (for businesses).
> Explain the situation to an IRS agent and ask for verification.
> The IRS agent will assist you in determining why you received the check and whether anyone else filed for it without your knowledge.
> If it is determined to be fraudulent, report it to the IRS immediately to protect yourself from further financial losses.

Have they given you a solution? I literally am having the same problem and something told me to google search it and this was the first forum that popped up. They told me there would be a solution within 3 days and they have a team working on it.

Amen! As many people that are having issues, I think someone needs to take it to the airwaves. Report the issue to the local news station so they can investigate.

Right that would be the best thing to do because so many ppl would come out with the same issues

I’ve received a paper check from them aswell, tried to deposit it to TWO banks, one mobile and one in person& they denied it each time. The first bank which was mobile said the check was fraudulent, and terminated my account. I went in person to deposit check to another bank, and Im on the app and it shows return check charge back. This has been a nightmare!!!! Everytime I call turbotax they said 3 business days but i been dealing with the same issue since last Wednesday!
