Early this morning I found info on the TurboTax website about where to mail the Identity Theft Affidavit if you have not received a letter from the IRS. I sent it, along with copies of my SSN, driver's license, 1040-SR, and I also shared my IP-PIN in the text of my statement. I walked to the post office and mailed it, feeling like it was a job well done.

But when I came home I looked at my bank account and the reduced amount of my refund has been deposited in my bank account!  If that happened, does that mean another person did NOT file using my SSN? And if not, how did all that false information get onto my record? I don't know -- maybe I made a mistake and I am not entitled to the extra $400 -- but not for the reasons they stated! I still did not claim any dependents, and I didn't say my income was more than $75K.  Where did that come from? Did the IRS mess up? I'm completely confused now.

Anyway, I have to say I'm somewhat relieved.  I don't know what they will make of what I sent this morning, though, since at that point I was assuming the refund would be deposited in someone else's account.

But on to normal stuff -- I went to Aldi yesterday and spent $39 on groceries. I also got $15 worth for free, because I had a gift card from the UnitedHealthcare House Calls program.

I am still awaiting final approval on my refinance. Any day now.
