Put it somewhere to draw interest until they come back to ask for it.
They will take the money back and charge a much larger interest then you can get anywhere else, even if it was their mistake

Are you MAGA?

i suspect you will not be held legally liable if you spend it. You could easily not know it was there and "overdraw" on it. but, that doesn't mean i expect you'd be off the hook for paying it back.

I emailed their help desk, is there an easier way to contact them? I wasn't able to find much.
Prepare to be on hold on the telephone for several hours

Lucky you.

The IRS always come for what's owed. Just because you have it, does not mean that you are legally entitled to it. The IRS can easily say that you should know what the return would be based on your tax filings. I would definitely contact the IRS or a CPA. They may charge interest on it if you wait too long. Worst case scenario - you get a tax lien on your house.

They will give you a recording that they aren't going to answer.

Knowingly appropriating money that is not yours, sent mistakenly or not, could very likely lead to criminal consequences.

They must think you're illegal and are giving you free money. Your free phone is next.

Just leave it in there. They will come get it when they want it.

They probably did it on purpose so they can collect interest from you. Biden’s America!

This is your answer. Do NOT play games with them because they will not be playing around with you when it's time for repayment. Contact them via phone (not as hard as some make it sound) and get it resolved.

You should try to give it back. The first issue is that you know it was erroneously deposited. The second is that you posted your knowledge on a public website. Third is that you know it should be returned.
Now try to return it or you will likely be considered to have knowingly taken it.

See what I did, I went to irs.gov - and they had a search box. In that, I typed contact. Up popped telephone and local assistance.
Lots of luck

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?
You'd call the IRS. They can and will charge you interest on it, so I'd do it sooner than later.

Eff that. Spend it now and act like you never had it. frickers sent $40B to the Ukraine. You can have your pittance of a refund.

It’s literally your money. Keep it and if they contact you about it tell them to frick off.

Good luck. I’ve been having issues with one of my tax payments. Called the help line on the form sent by the IRS. The number was disconnected. Good ol federal government.
