Cashing Check over 20 Years Old

My father recently found a tax refund check from 1987 that he never cashed. What does he need to do in order to cash this check?


He won't be able to cash it. If the check was for a federal tax refund, he should take it to the IRS and ask whether it can be reissued. If it's for a state refund, he should check with the state tax authority.
