happened. You will need a letter from your bank stating that it made the
mistake and the original check should have been honored.

Default Bounced check to IRS - two questions

This year, I ended up having a very large IRS tax due. I
sent a check for approx. $10,000 with my return, just to
discover that my check bounced due to bank mishap.

I did some research and it looks like IRS assesses a 2%
penalty, which needless to say, I'm eager to avoid.

I have three questions:

1. Does IRS try to re-deposit the check, or should I send a
new check? I'm thinking of sending a new check, but don't
want IRS to re-deposit my original check and to have it
bounce again.

2. Since I can still get the check sent before April 15th,
what are my chances of waiving the penalty?

3. Should I write the letter with the check, or separately?
Any help on what to write?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!
