They will take it away soon. The bank will check. If they don't...don't tell them and enjoy the free money. Lolz

The IRS will not deposit a refund into an account that does not have the taxpayer listed as the owner of. This is a safety measure from an incorrect account number being shown on the tax return. If this does happen the IRS will then send a check to the taxpayer.

NO...the bank probably mixed your account with someone elses, this happens on occasion. So that means the money you want to keep did not come out of the banks pocket, it came out of one of your fellow account holders pockets. Be a decent person and call the bank and point out the error so who evers money it is can get it back

No I wouldn't if i were you, the bank will eventually realise their error and make you pay it all back. if you spend it and then have no money to pay it back, you can get into a lot of trouble. Best to notify the bank and tell them that this isn't you money when they take the money back make sure you get a written signed statement saying that you did in fact give all the moeny back, cos you don't want them nocking on your door saying they didn't get the money back. You can never be too sure about anything these days. better to be safe than sorry.

Dont use the money because the bank will figure out the money went to your account and then take it back.

You get to keep it until the bank discovers the error & takes it back. If they take it back and it produces a negative balance, they'll probably assess some fees.

You can keep it but dont spend it because if you do you'll find yourself in the hole when they find out they made a mistake which they always do it just takes a month or two but they have computers and everything that will find the unbalance.

No, you need to notify the bank of the mistake otherwise it is called stealing. You know that.
