IRS deposited my refund - twice

It's been about a month and is still there, I would think this could potentially cause more issues than it's worth just by leaving it in there, who would you even contact about something like that?

Put it somewhere to draw interest until they come back to ask for it.

I wouldn't do shite.

Sorry you're poor.

I could contact IRS.. Or ask an accountant at the very least, but keep it because they will find those type of mistakes.

Donate it to Jason Williams. He owes about $720k.

Pull your transcript and see what your account balance is.

Contact your bank

Put it all on Bammer to cover October 8th.

do this ^^^^^^^

when they come for it you will be charged 11% daily fee for every day you kept it. they have higher interest rates then loan sharks and you have zero choice but to pay the insane penalty rates even though it was their mistake.

i had an $800 mistake and a year later they added $1200 in penalties and i had 5 days to pay or they start adding 11% daily interest to it

This is what I'm afraid of.

I emailed their help desk, is there an easier way to contact them? I wasn't able to find much.

Did you have someone prepare your taxes for you, like an accountant or attorney? If so, I would probably just see what they say first before you go through the incredible hassle of trying to get someone at the IRS on the phone.

If you did them yourself, perhaps contact your bank and see what they say. They may not have any advice, but again, it would be worth trying before calling the IRS.
