That's the thing, I NEVER put anyone's bank account to my taxes, period. I was 19-20, not been anyone's dependent since I turned 18, and have never had a bank account. I always took pay by check. Site claim back then, I set it to that they were supposed to send any potential follow-up via mail like the first. I know I received the first one. The follow one(s) after I took as only article attention grabs, til I was told recently that her son's account received stimulus checks in my name. Which made no sense to me. I have never routed anyone to myself or the original IRS claim, and having one checked in cash and my options set to mailed check delivery.
I never even knew of it until it slipped up in recent conversation that he received deposited in my name for stimulus. Whenever I try to follow up for information they cold-fish on the topic and refuse to show me anything. What I do know is that the son has not been officially employed ever, so there's no sensible way that he would have been getting any stimulus at all. They shouldn't know any of my legal information to have rerouted anything, either. But clearly if what they accidentally revealed is true, something is wrong.
Thank you for the information about 2/3. I'm trying to sign back into ID.me for the IRS site, and I'll be going ahead and using your advice for the toll-free line. For the record, you're saying I shouldn't trust my SSN even to the IRS? Thank you so much, so far.
