    Form 8901 and it’s variations existed to help businesses pre-pay tax liabilities from having employees. It hasn’t been in use since 2010. It definitely will not convince the IRS to pay your debts from your imaginary SS Treasury account.

    Surely there are scammers who have seen people posting shit like this, and offering to “help” people claim this magic money.

    I remember when I was a kid having trouble wrapping my head around the concepts of “debit” and “credit” on a balance sheet. This sounds like they never grew out of that and just ran with it.
