Logged on to my bank to pay my credit card bill and noticed an unusually high balance in my savings account. Inspected details and saw that someone else's federal and state tax refund (or possibly stimulus check) was deposited into my savings account. By googling the deposit description from my bank looks like the person is from CA and I'm from PA.
I immediately called my bank (capital one) and they said to contact the IRS. So I called the IRS and they aren't taking calls right now due to low staff/covid but I researched this extensively and found this help page on the IRS website:
https://www.irs.gov/faqs/irs-procedures/refund-inquiries/refund-inquiries-18
So my bank says to contact the IRS and the IRS says to contact the bank.
No other websites or articles I found were helpful.
Do you guys have any advice for getting this resolved? This poor person probably needs their money and I'm just not sure what more steps to take.
Thank you so much in advance.
