Ha, I'm an idiot
Just a fun story...
This year we owed the state a little money in taxes. Not much, just under $200. I like to pay a little early (if I need to pay at all) so that I can be sure that the return is all taken care of before the deadline. So, I mailed a check in the middle of March. Weeks go by and they haven't cashed the check. It gets to be April 15th and they still haven't cashed the check.
I talked to my mom about it, and she told me this has happened to them before. It's not really a big deal, just that when the state sends the letter saying I owe them that I need to show them a copy of the check copy and a bank statement proving that I had sufficient funds at the time. As annoying as it is, I figure that's not too bad, so I keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Over the last couple weeks, I've been getting annoyed that we haven't received any letters. I hate owing people money and it bothers me that I've got an outstanding balance that I can't get rid of. So, I planned on getting the documents in order and then calling the state treasury to see what we can do to get this all taken care of. So, today I brought my old checkbook to work to make a copy and then started trying to find the bank statement from back in March.
As I'm looking through the statement to see which pages I needed to print, I wanted to see where it says that there was a check out of order (where they put a little star next to the check if the previous check number was not cashed that month) and I'm not seeing one. So I look a little harder, and yeah, they cashed my check about 4 days after I'd written it.
D'oh. I'm so glad I figured this out before I called the treasury.

Hahaha... I thought you were going to say that the check was still in your checkbook and that you never even mailed it. That sounds like something that I would have done!
Glad to know they actually did receive it!! lol
Oh, I'm so glad that's not what happened! I would have been so pissed at myself! At least this way I can just laugh at how stupid I was.
I thought the same thing, that you found the check in the envelope still waiting to be mail. I will admit I have done that on a few occasions! Glad everything worked out!
