When do the IRS checks expire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I thought it was one year also. Why not just use Form 3911 to request a replacement? In the top section it has a box specifically for refund checks not processed within 12 months of issuance. The client could try to deposit it, and the government might honor it, but if it bounces then he will be charged a returned check fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they'll go ahead and re-issue you another check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
