Is there a way to cash a tax refund check without my ex signing the check since we are divorced and she lives in another state?

This depends on several factors. Did your tax return include a period during the year where you were not yet divorced? Was it a joint return? Is the check made payable to both you and your ex wife? If the answer to any of the above is yes, then no, you cannot cash the check without her endorsing it, too. If you forge her signature (or have someone forge it for you) and cash it, then you will be subject to serious penalty, as will anyone involved in helping forge your ex wife's name.

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.

If you sold a boat for cash without signing any contract and now the signer is unhappy with the purchase does he legally have grounds to ask for a refund?
The answer might depend on the state "lemon law" if there is one. Although most state laws of this nature do not apply to private transactions. If there is no contract it is generally assumed that it was an "as is' purchase. Meaning the seller makes no guarantees on the item and is not required to accept the return or remit a refund or any portion thereof.
