Where can I cash my $4000 income tax check for? NO bank account, nor can I get one.?

This is one reason why adults need bank accounts. Open one.

Any Federally chartered bank is required by law to cash US Treasury checks, upon presentation of adequate proof of ID. You generally will need either 2 photo IDs or one photo ID and a utility bill showing the same address as on the ID and the check.

Is this stolen? Please do the right thing!

Most check cashing places will do this for you however, they're going to kill you with fees. If you have a Federal Reserve bank near your location they'll cash it free of charge. Unfortunately, many banks are far to careful when it comes to cashing non-account-holder checks. Many of the RAL checks coming in are easy to forge as well which can result in major headaches for banks. You may want to check the IRS site to see if they offer options for cashing the check as well. And hell, I'd even check the post office. Good Luck! Peace! The Reverend UPDATE: After answering I went back to read more member answers...amazing that so many are asking why you don't have a bank account. For those of you who don't know, it is quite easy to get turned down for a bank account. If you've ever bounced a check and it was recorded in telecheck or alike's system, you have a hard time getting a bank account. There are some banks that don't check telecheck but most are not aware of what they are. With banks handling money the way they are as of late, I'm not surprised that many are pulling their money out of the banks. Furthermore, who are we to judge this person for not having an account. They just want to cash a friggin' check so help 'em out already! Cheeze and Rice man!

I think some liquor stores cash checks.

Anyone who is legally a resident of the US can get a bank account. Get one and use your check as the opening deposit.

Sometimes banks will cash checks for you. Call some local banks and check for their policies on cashing checks. They generally charge a small fee. Why not try opeining up a bank account as another option??

There are some check cashing places around but they charge an arm and a leg. Go to a bank and see if you can open up a savings? They will probably cash it and deposit the money in it for you.

Try looking for check cashing places in your area. The only thing is that they usually take a large percentage of your money. If this is not an option then asked a trusted friend or family member to deposit it in their bank account.
