The IRS screwed up and direct deposited $10k into my bank account. I called the local IRS office to report it but they said that it would take 3-4 months for them to get back to me. Apparently they are in the heat of processing all of the taxes for '06 so they will get to me when they can get to me. No big deal.

I have a savings account at Wachovia but if I left it in there for 3-4 months I would probably yield a whopping $100 (if that and if I'm lucky).

I have $10k that I can use to invest short-term since eventually they will contact me and I'll have to pay them back. I have 3-4 months to make the most of my $10k. What would you suggest?

Sorry for posting an investment thread on GFY. Please don't P.O.T.C. me for it.
