I know exactly how you feel. And I believe that what they did to you is an SOP of the IRS. It happened to me back in 1985. Long story short is that I paid my taxes (owed money) they sent me a larger refund saying I made a mistake - a year later said oops - we made a mistake and want our money back, with interest. Took three years to get it resolved on what happened. I set up payments - got the notice of acceptance AND payment book - the following week they took the money from my checking and savings account AND froze all my accounts until the money was actually transferred.
When I finally got through to a person - he told me point blank - "so what - we are not giving the money back cause you owe it anyway".
So yep - it sucks when they do that and it just pisses me off every time I hear of someone else they do this crap to.
Hang in there -
