more US tax saga..help please!!

March 14th, 2023 at 02:57 am

So our taxes haven't gone into our US bank...and it has been a month since they sent the 1st letter...so we are sure they have sent checks to us...well no bank in or country (at least in our state) accepts overseas checks, we can't contact the IRS unless we call them which costs a lot...especially with our new carrier....so we are not sure what we are going to do...do we send them back with our bank details again, and get them to put them into our account or do we try and sign them and send them to our bank? I don't like that because mail gets lost all the time and I'm not sure they would sign for a letter from us and I don't want the checks stolen.

When we sent in the taxes we stated that our country doesn't accept checks...4 times in a letter on sticky notes pointing to the banking details (yes it is a US account) so just don't know why they have done this....any ideas on what else can be done...and no because we don't have a US address we can't do a loy online...let me know if you have any ideas please!!

    Does your bank have mobile deposit as an option? I don't do it, but with some, you can scan or take a photo of your check and submit it to your bank.

    Can you email the bank directly to see what's going on?

    Have you looked into calling through Skype? It might be cheaper than using your cell phone.

    Is there someone in the US that would deposit in their account then do a transfer to your account? I do that for a friend in Poland. Usually a small fee for international transfer, but better than noting.

    @WG. To deposit someone's check into your account, their name has to also be on the account.

    If you have someone in the US that you trust, you can sign the check over to them and they deposit into their account and then can transfer the money to your account. THEIR NAME DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON THE CHECK. You sign it over to them and they sign it to deposit it into their account. But if you don't have anyone, then this conversation doesn't matter.....

    Definitely look into skype, whatsApp, and even google voice for international calling. and call your bank and ask them what to do.
