It’s a scam!!! I talked to the IRS. Intuit DOES NOT SEND TAX REFUNDS! I Checked with cashing places and banks and they all said it was fake! I put the wrong account number on my tax forms with turbo tax and IRS sent the fund but then was rejected. So when I got that check in mail I thought wow that was fast. Turns out the IrS says it takes 5 weeks to get a paper check! Hope this helps.

Certain financial institutions aren't cashing some checks as they exceed the limits in place for the company. In some situations, these checks are being referred to as fraudulent, however, they aren't.

Make sure the name on your check matches the name on your bank account. Try to go to your local bank to open an account so you can deposit the check. ‌Some banks will allow you to open an account but will retain a small portion of the deposit until the check clears.

Another option is to find a bank that can cash large checks without any restrictions. If the bank has concerns with the validity of the check, they can contact Intuit directly at 1-800-206-1633. A dedicated team is available for verification purposes. Also, if the check is uncashed after 90 days, the check will be returned to the IRS. Then you can work with the IRS to receive your tax return.

No you are are wrong! I spoke with IRS and they said it would only come from them and on the intuit check has NO watermark , nothing official. It’s a scam! They are trying to get your bank info when you deposit. My Bank of America rejected it. Walmart and cashing check place said it was fake !

Right, Intuit or Turbo Tax does not send your check. Unless you are getting a refund for the fees. Did you select to have the fees deducted from your federal refund? Then it goes thought a 3rd party bank (not Intuit) to take the fees out and send you the rest. If they couldn't deposit the rest of it then they will send you a check. So could the check be from SBTPG? Is the check for the right amount of your refund or minus the fees?

I tried to get mine cashed at Walmart and they said no. I went to check cashing place and they said no. I deposited it into Bank of America and they rejected. Only because what I upload didn’t show account number clearly. It was folded and wrinkled. I submitted second time to Bank of America and it was on hold for exactly one week and it cleared!
