A client just called and said a former employee's apparent tax refunds (both state and federal) were credited to the client's business account.  Anybody ever see this before? 

It looks like it's from the governments and not the payroll service

The client wants to wait for the employee to call, but that could take months.

Sounds too weird to happen accidentally.  My guess is the employer, for whatever reason, let the employee pay his balance of 2021 taxes from his business account.  The tax preparer used the same bank account for receiving the employee's 2022 refunds and thus it was deposited in your client's business account rather than the former employee's bank account.  The former employee will figure it out, with the tax preparer's help, sooner than later, unless the former employee doesn't inquire why his/her refund is taking so long.
