Ask The Taxgirl: Error On Check

Kelly Phillips ErbApril 16, 2008December 4, 2019

Taxpayer asks:

I was told to put 1040 and my SS# on the check, which I have done in a rush (yesterday). Today I see a small notice informing me to make check out to US Treasury RATHER than IRS. I’d like to think it’s no big deal. but – I’d like to believe in Santa Claus. I await, hoping you haven’t gone on vacation now tax time is gone.

Taxgirl says:

Lose nary a minute of sleep over it. You’re fine. The government will take its money (almost) any way that they can get it.

(And PS, Santa Claus does exist. My kids swear he does – and they’re smarter than most adults I know)

 

Before you go: be sure to read my disclaimer. Remember, I’m a lawyer and we love disclaimers.

    I haven’t received my rebate check and my last two numbers are 30, and I had direct deposit. So what’s up with that.
