<prompt> Human: As is tradition, Ive been feverishly checking my bank account waiting for my tax refund to show up. When I finally decided to check the status online it showed as having been deposited on Feb. 5th. Going back over my 1040A I realized my banks routing and my account were totally different. This also happened to my mother who completed her taxes on the same site, e-file.com. I called my bank and they said there is nothing they can do except call the IRS. I decided to then call the bank where my money was deposited TheBanCorp.com which I have never heard of. After navigating the maze of automated phone menus I was able to speak to a card services representative who said Yes, we do have your money in our account, if you would like to know why call this number and gave me a number for something called EPS Financial located in Pennsylvania. I call the number and before even speaking to someone it asks for my social security number, which Im hesitant to give out. Granted if this is a scam, Im sure they already have my SSThis has never happened in previous years, but is this somehow normal? Is there anything I can do? Edit: Solved almost immediately by uswalsh411 ubillthecatt and the aptly named uthese-things-happen I really appreciate all the additional help and tips when its comes to filing tax returns, thanks everyone!  <response>: This happened to me last year, when I elected to have filing fees deducted from the refund. The refund got held up for weeks in a third party bank in Ohio. I dont recommend having filing fees deducted from your refund ever.
