refund check

Returned payment document

A refund check is a check issued to return money owed to someone—typically from a government tax refund, an overpayment, or a canceled service.

The term appears most often in contexts involving the IRS: My refund check finally arrived.

Unlike rebates or reimbursements, refund checks return money that was originally yours.
