No. A check can be cashed only by the individual to whom the check is made out (issued) to. No one else can cash it even if it is signed by the person to whom the check was given. If you try to do so, it is an illegal activity and you can be jailed for it. But, you can deposit that check into the account of the person to whom the check was given if he has signed the back of the check (endorsed it) and no one will stop you if you do this and it is perfectly legal.

You will not get a cash refund. You will get your check back if it is the same day. Otherwise, the store will wait until your check has cleared the bank to make certain you have the money to buy the product. Otherwise, you will be charged for an overdrawn check and prosecuted by the company.

Can you cash your boyfriends refund check?

No. Only your boyfriend to whom the check is issued can endorse it and he is the only person who can cash a check. If anyone (say you) tries to cash a check issued to another individual, it is called a forgery and the forger could be arrested and legally prosecuted for his actions.


What is the statute of limitations for ex to claim half of tax refund?

As far as the IRS is concerned, if your ex was not included on the tax return for the year that you are filing, they would have no claim to your refund. If you were filing a joint return for that year then the spouses name is listed on the return and they would have to sign the check in order for you to cash it. Be very careful here, if you endorse the check for the refund by signing your former spouses name to the check, you will be guilty of fraud by conversion and for forgery. The IRS will prosecute someone who commits forgery by signing someone else's name on a check.
