Once I got a check from the IRS in October for around $1000, saying I had overpaid. I put it in the bank and that was that. About a month later they sent me a bill for $1000 in unpaid taxes plus interest going back to April 15, as if I had never paid it. This was a crock since they’d had the money almost the entire time, but the interest was only like $80, which I didn’t think was worth the trouble of disputing. Weird mistake though. Apparently they audit themselves.
