If you are confident that you know that the IRS is the agency now in charge of your bank account, it may be that you owe the IRS money. Best practices dictate that you call the IRS and work out the details of your situation with them.

If you have received a phone call, claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, telling you that you owe taxes, threatening you with arrest if you do not pay immediately- it is a scam. First, the IRS does not call you- you get a registered letter. Second, you are not arrested for owing money- you CAN be hauled into court for evading taxes. If you owe the IRS money, and they want it, they can take it without your permission. They have the power to take your paycheck, your bank account, your car and your house.
The IRS will eventually discover their error and will come collecting. The IRS will send out a letter explaining the situation and asking that you pay back the amount of excess refund. If you have already spent the excess, you are still required to pay. Call the IRS immediately to fix the problem. The IRS will collect on the money owed as they would back taxes.
Usually if you owe back taxes, IRS will send you a letter to notify you that you owe IRS money. However, if you are not sure, try to call IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
