I know... don't look a gift horse in the mouth.... but...
We received a check for $4883 today from the IRS.
It is not for this year, from what I can tell because:
1) our refund is smaller
2) some of our refund was to be issued in i-bonds
3) 'where's my refund' shows it's still processing our return.
It is larger than the refund we received last year... and, yes, we received that one.
So... free money from the government? Should I expect a letter explaining it?
What would you do? I'm afraid to cash/spend it because I think it's a mistake...
