Call them or write them a letter. Since they cancelled the check you cashed there could be further problems as a direct result. Hold onto the check and don't alter it in any way. They might ask for it back, they may wish to put a cancel order on the new check (since you successfully cashed the first one) or they may want you to destroy it, but check with them before you do anything else.

I would keep it, not cash it, and not return it. First, who would you send it to? If the IRS receives a check back, it may confuse them...and the last thing you want to do is confuse the IRS. Trust me. A client of mine did this and then got a bunch of letters from the IRS and two more checks...it just served to confuse them. Oh...and if you have their money, they can charge you up to 8% interest on the money.

Chances are that this is the check that a "stop payment" was done on, and it should throw an 'alert' up when someone tries to cash it. I don't know if I'd try it or not....and then again, cash it and say "hey I didn't know the government made mistakes" LOL just kidding. Good Luck in whatever you decide.

contact the irs. If they have cancelled the check then it could bounce in your account leaving you with terrmendous fees. You need to see if it is cancelled or if you should use that check or the one they sent you. Either way if you keep that second check that is stealing, reguardless of how you like the government, and that shows lack in character in your part. Return the unused check and be an honorable person!

ah ah ! just don't cash the second check, cross that check with 'void' and return it with a letter explaining what happened, problem solved.

Dont cash it. You know that you allready got what you were suppose to get. You would be knowing defrauding the Gov and us tax payers. Send it back.

That is like dancing on a mine field. It may take them a little while, but they will find out. And they wont be at all happy about it. As others have said, it is breaking the law and you will pay for it in more than one way.

just return it. they will find out and it will lead to a host of unwanted troubles
