  In either case, if you find you are the recipient of a tax refund that you did not initiate yourself by filing your income tax return, the IRS urges taxpayers to follow the established procedures for returning an erroneous refund to the IRS by following the steps outlined by Tax Topic Number 161 – Returning an Erroneous Refund. They recommend that taxpayers discuss the issue with their financial institution because there may be a need to close the bank account involved. Also, taxpayers receiving erroneous refunds should contact their tax preparers immediately.
