Photoshopped IRS refund.

Dream on.

Nope.

I provided a close up of the dollar amount. Feel free to load that in your photoshop program and search for any alterations.

First thing that comes to mind is charity. You could save countless lives and do a lot of good with 4 million dollars. The second thing that comes to mind is the money isn't yours to spend. I'd give it back.

Buying your own island brings problems, i remember a story a few years ago about this guy who bought his own island and put a place on it for him and his mates to live outside the boundries of the law.


Then one day he returned to the island after a supply trip to find pirates had taken over (no shit, actual pirates). So the guy hired a band of mercenaries and went back to the island and 'forced them off the island' (read: Shot them all).

A practical question if I may? Did the mercenaries happen to be ... ninjas?

Cash that shit and leave the country!!! Seriously. 4million $$ doesn't happen everyday buddy.
I'd be living in a different country by now.

Too bad you can't deposit it into at least a money market account. Even at today's low rates, even earning 2.5% APR per day would net you over $270 per day.

The swiss bank account thing sounds the best. Put it in the bank, earn that measly 2.5% APR, and earn almost $100,000 per year. You could live pretty good somewhere where the Feds can't extradite you on a 100 grand a year.

Or maybe got to Vegas and have one hell of a weekend.

Technically, yes... Unless you used something else to blur out the bits in the middle of the cheque. :)

iirc, you can't cash tax refunds from the federal government, they need to go into your bank account first and there's some kind of waiting period. And as soon as you deposit four million dollars the bank manager is calling the feds anyway. You're fucked, might as well call up the IRS and tell them how much they fucked up.

The best thing to do would be to buy us an island so GAF could create a utopian society. I'm sure we'd have a perfect civilization up and running in no time.

Second best thing to do would be to call the IRS again and tell them they made another mistake with your refund. When the ask the amount tell them, then act surprised and upset when they say it's an overpayment since you had only called because you were expecting a few hundred G's more based on your math.

You live in Austin! I can help you get across the border. Cash that bitch and we'll run to the Greyhound bus station together. We'll leave a trail of broken hearts and cervixes along the way. We need to get to Mexico first, then we'll disappear in South America.That is one huge mistake...your only option is to run now.

Can you imagine if you would have done a direct deposit on that? You would have 3 million in your bank account right now. :D

DONT DO IT!

Seriously. If I knew someone that had 4 million bucks and invited me to Mexico with them to run, i'd get them to cash it, get them into mexico and kill them and keep the cash, then come back and spend it on producing MY NEW SUPER SMASH HIT BAND::: STD!

When they try to void the check, you should do what any typical American would do: sue them for causing emotional damage by getting your hopes up with that huge sum of money.

Legal action... it's the American Way!
Suing the US Govt, nay the IRS wouldn't be the smartest of choices :p

Seriously, if you're looking for 15 seconds of fame, contact MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc. There's a chance you could get on TV and have a story done. Maybe you'll get lucky and something promising will result.
