Re: I Had To Chuckle Sending Check To IRS.

@godi If you double paid someone (in a situation as impersonal as this), wouldn't you want the check back?  Or would you prefer the cost of a "stop payment" or checking your account for months until the check became invalid?


@esmerelda   Agree.  While my understanding is that Treasury checks are valid for 12 months, these checks to the deceased need to be accounted for so that the $$ can be re-allocated for other uses.

 

I cannot imagine even beginning to wonder if one should keep a check that is not made out to you (you being generic and not to the OP or anyone else in this situation).
