Ask the client if the money came out of their bank account.

I've seen that happen a number of times. Fortunately not adding an extra zero, just lopping one off.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

And then there was the elderly client who wrote me a check with "1100.00" on the number line but "Eleven and no/100" on the written line.  Not accustomed to such large amounts, I didn't notice nor did my assistant who prepares bank deposits.  A few days later, the bank informed me that my balance was $1089 less than what I expected.

Previously posted. Client deposited $200.20.  Bank credited $200,200.00.  Eight months later client called and said bank never reversed their error.  Can he keep the money.  I explained the concept of bank fraud.  He was not a happy camper.

In United States v. Page, No. 3:20-cv-08072 (D. Ariz. April 16, 2021) the court holds that a large erroneous refund the IRS sent to the taxpayer could not be recovered because the Department of Justice filed the erroneous refund suit too late

Although this error was in your client's favor, one would surely consider switching banks if after eight months the bank didn't know they'd made such a large error.   Yikes!
