I learned this about 25 years ago when my employer decided to do away with paper checks and do direct deposits. We had to sign a form and give our account routing number, giving them permission to make deposits and withdrawals from our accounts, withdrawals, in case of “over payments”.
No one wanted to sign but doing so was a condition of continuing employment.
Not that I get any money back (too busy paying my “fair share”), but I just apply any overpayment to the next quarter’s bill. I don’t want IRS with any kind of access to our accounts beyond getting paper checks. F them.
