I received a direct deposit from the IRS for an amount far greater (nearly 10x) than my anticipated tax return. Am I in trouble?

Do not utilize the funds, or you will have to pay the amount back with interest if it was erroneously issued.

You will need to contact the Internal Revenue Service Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954, and select option 2.  You will need to speak directly to a representative to explain your situation rather than utilize the automated system.
