Thanks again
It's not exactly spelled out, but read 61.57 where it talks about Instrument Proficiency Checks.
The tasks required on an IPC are listed in the Instrument Rating PTS...and those tasks are a subset of the Instrument Checkride tasks. So if you took the checkride, you also took an IPC. If in doubt, compare the tasks in the PTS.
