Thatcher Shah Confer Tehran up British conservative party Leader Margaret Thatcher met with the Shah of Iran at the Niagara Palace. Letters to the editor cashing tax refund checks recently Iran into a pretty big problem with the american express. I m sure there Are Many More us who have encountered the same problem too. My income tax Check came Back a few weeks ago. I signed it and sent it to my Ife in Chicago. She could t Cash it so she signed it and sent it Back to me. Then i went to the american express to Cash the Check. The Bank Teller told me that i could not Cash it. He told me i would have to have my wife Here with me to Cash the Check or i would have to Send her my id card and the Check to get it cashed. Anyone stationed Here in Europe knows very Well that to Send a military id card to the states is a no no. Up to this Point i still Haven t been Able to Cash this Check. So what do i do with the Check sgt Robert Antoine bad kiss then Germany editor s note James haul vice president american Espreu military banking faculties revues the writer it quite Correct with Bis observations that his problem is shared by Many other service members. Military banking welcomes the Opportunity to inform the Community of practical so Lution for cashing joint irs refund checks. The Best solution is to Deposit the Check into a joint checking account or savings account preferably at a local banking facility. This convenient solution however requires that a couple has previously established a joint account at a financial institution. The Bank simply verifies both irs Check endorsement signatures against its file specimen and credits the account. Should a service member Lack a joint Bank account the oily other practical solution is a limited Power of attorney to accompany the Check allowing the spouse to Cash a joint refold Check in the states. A Power of attorney from the wife is also possible for the service member Here in Europe. Every Community Post Legal assistance office in the i United states and Europe prepares free such limited Powers of attorney. Why All this concern with joint refund checks the Vas. Treasury department requires cashing facilities to have positive identification of All payees and their respective endorsements. Other than both parties physically presenting the Check together this can Only be accomplished by signature verification or Power of attorney. Failure to comply imposes risks on that financial institution. Military banking management regrets the inconvenience caused by the incomplete explanation from the local Teller and thanks the writer for bringing this to our attention.
