I do not know where to begin with this…but somehow someone got my federal tax refund routed to an unknown account despite that I didn’t request direct deposit.
I had e-filed with TT back in early April and I had requested to get my refund via check. I managed to get my State Refund without any issues after verifying my SSN and total State Refund.
After a month of waiting for my Federal Refund, I got curious and went to check on the status and it said it was already delivered in late April. This was strange because I never received a check. So I looked at my bank statement from last month and nowhere did it show a deposit into my account. I started to panic and pulled up a PDF of my tax return thinking I might’ve messed something up, and to my shock and horror I found that somehow my federal refund had been filled out to be deposited to a bank account that wasn’t even mine.
I can’t believe this! How is it that my check refund was mysteriously changed to direct deposit? Did someone from TT or the IRS edit my information without my knowledge and basically stole $1,082 from me? How am I suppose to get my money back?
