I received a check from the United States Treasury after I received my direct deposit tax return. The check was for a slightly larger amount. Do I cash this?

Is this a fake check? Looks real.

The IRS frequently changes refund amounts.  

They do a mathematical check based on IRS records of withholding amounts, estimated payments, and W-2 information.

You should be receiving correspondence from the IRS explaining the changes.

If your refund came to you twice, beware.

The IRS will be asking for some money back.
