A TikTok user named Sarah, who goes by @lilsaltine7, recently went viral after sharing a strange experience with an unexpected IRS deposit. She woke up one morning to find $5,337 in her bank account that she did not think belonged to her. The money appeared to be a tax refund, but she had already received her refund for the year. Plus, this new amount was much larger than what she had gotten before. Her video ended up getting over 311,600 views.
Sarah immediately tried to return the money. She called the IRS but could not get through to an actual person. She then called her bank, only to be passed between several departments with no real answer. At one point, she was transferred to someone who, by the sound of it, was in the bathroom. After going through what she described as “7,000 different departments,” she still had no clear solution.
