Unexpected paper refund check

jrszucs — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:59:16 GMT

I have received an unexpected refund check from the IRS, I wrote VOID on it sent it back along with an explanation. Then I got a letter from them saying that they are processing my letter. Then 2 months later a got the same refund check again, only with more interest paid. What should I do? I don't really think i should be getting a refund. The amount is sizable ($6000). I think I am stuck in some kind of loop with them. If I call them, I get a customer service person that does see anything wrong. (In other words, useless in solving my problem)

You may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area. See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

Don't fight the Fed.

And don't fight the IRS.

IRS has refunded tax to you (twice) you should keep it.
