IRS Check Payable to Closed Company: What to do?

My boss owned another company, but he shut it down in June, 2009. He had a business checking account, which he also closed. Last December, he received a tax refund check for $2984.00 payable to that company’s name from the IRS. Can he reopen that account without any documents, or what does he need to do? His CPA already reported to the IRS and the state that the company legally closed.

It's unlikely that he will be able to reopen the business account if the business no longer exists. You mention a CPA. Perhaps your boss can ask the CPA for a suggestion on how to handle the check, or contact the IRS to explain his problem.
