When I was a puppy lawyer, many years ago, not owning a pot to spit in or on, I received a 10k check from the IRS representing a refund on taxes. Problem: I earned 11k at best that year. I desperately wished to keep the molaah so I researched the matter intensely, learning that if I cashed said check, I’d be liable for an outrageous amount of interest. So, I hand-wrote a letter to the IRS informing it of the matter, but I wrote it using my non-dominant left hand, making no attempt to be clear. I was hoping that my letter would be ignored, and I would cash the check after a decent interval of time had passed. I planned to argue that the onerous penalty did not apply because I had informed the IRS of its error. The next day or so. I get a phone call from an obviously distraught agent practically begging me to return the check. I did. Eventually,I got my refund, but he tripled it. I cashed the second check.
