<<If you are certain the amount of the refund check is too high, please return the original check to the IRS center where you filed your tax return with a letter explaining the reason(s) why the amount is too high and we will send you the correct amount. If you do not return this check, you may owe interest>> LOLOLOLOLOL. That has to be the funniest thing I've read in a while. Ironically, I'm defending a case that is similar, although the setting itself is different. It involves conversion, which is one of those very odd torts. It seems that if someone else drops something into your lap by mistake and you think it's yours and then use it, the bumbling miscreant can then sue YOU for the full value plus prejudgment interest when they figure out the screw up and get sued by the rightful owner. Or at least they can try. Where the IRS is concerned, you're a loser no matter what happens. Be careful. M
