How can I obtain a corrected refund check because my original check had a misspelling of my name?


Most banks will cash or deposit tax refund checks with minor name misspellings if all other information is correct.

If you are unable to cash or deposit your refund due to a name misspelling, you may request a correction using one of the methods below:

Option 1 — Email

Email [email protected] with the corrected spelling of your name, your mailing address, and your phone number.

Do not include your Social Security Number for security reasons.

Option 2 — Mail

Mail a written request that includes:

  • The corrected spelling of your name

  • Your mailing address and phone number

  • A copy of your driver’s license

Send your request to:

Louisiana Department of Revenue
P.O. Box 4998
Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4998

Do not mail a copy of your Social Security card for security reasons.
