I was depositing a check via mobile app this morning and noticed that my savings account had a balance of hundreds of dollars more than it should have. According to the history, a VA state tax return was deposited on the 24th, followed by a federal return on the 28th. I've never lived in VA or worked for a company associated with the state. I have already received my state return for where I live and only ever gave my checking account number for direct deposit, so I'm assuming the federal return is also NOT meant for me.
Help! I don't want to get in trouble with the IRS so and am definitely not spending the money until this is cleared up, as much as I could use it right now. Any advice is helpful as everything I've found in my search just found people on the other end -- entering their information incorrectly, in which everything I've seen say the bank should never have allowed the deposit to go through.
