“Claimed“ Covid relief? They just stuck money in our bank accounts. Which
scares the hell out of me because you have to wonder what happens when they
decide they want money back.

In Canada they did that BUT only if you had paid or received your last
income tax (payment or refund) that way. Anybody else had to include
an account with their application. (As I recall they put up the
details of the account for your last return and gave you the option of
either clicking 'x' or supplying an alternate account. As a small
business owner I lived on that for 3 months in 2020 simply to keep the
store solvent - nothing like having your sales drop 80% in one weekend
and staying that way for 2-3 months!)

I’d never let IRS anywhere near my bank account but I get direct deposit
Social Security there.

Dude! You don't actually know what IRS does, do you. None of it is
voluntary. IRS already knows what your accounts are as banks and
brokerages are all required to file information returns on you. This
allows IRS to readily levy your accounts if they believe you owe back
taxes.

People who received direct deposit of COVID checks were those who had
either direct deposits of last year's tax refund or Social Security
pension checks. Everyone else received checks in the mail or claimed it
as a refundable credit on the tax return.

I realize they’re a criminal organization.
My law professor said the one rule to remember was “IRS wins“

What I was replying to Was the statement about having to apply for Covid
relief. My point was that I didn’t apply for anything it just appeared in
my bank account. And I have no idea why spellcheck decided that one word
“was“ needed to be capitalized.

I think he was talking about covid relief checks to businesses. You had
to apply for those.
