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 because of the misspelling, you can notify LDR of the error in any of the following ways:
  • Contact LDR by email at [email protected] and notify us of the corrected name spelling including your address and phone number. Do not include your Social Security Number for security reasons.
  • Call LDR at (855) 307-3893 and if it can be verified that the name on the return was entered incorrectly, the correction will be made and your refund reissued.
  • Mail a copy of your spelling correction request, your address and phone number, and attach a copy of your driver’s license to P.O. Box 4998, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4998. Do not mail a copy of your Social Security card for security reasons.
