... I have experienced something very weird.

I usually file my fed and state taxes right away, as soon as I can. I did so this year, using a commercial e-filing system I have been satisfied with in the past. I was wondering how long it would take the clown show in DC to accept the return and issue my refund, a few hundred dollars, and remember that the Biden admin had been memorably fast.

I filed about the time Musk was accessing systems and days later, less than a week, my refund was deposited into my Credit Union. Fine, rapid response. But oddly, the deposit was made to the wrong account. Instead of going into my checking like everything does, and my taxes always have, it was deposited into my saving account. I have all deposits go into my checking and only deposit to my savings account as transfers from that account. I have never attached the savings account number to any of my filings or any paperwork of any kind. The savings acct. number is one digit off the checking account number.

It almost seems like some weird fishing maneuver somehow. Just weird.

We live in interesting times.
