1Opinion of the Court

PLAGER, Circuit Judge.

In substance this case is one for the recovery by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS” or “Government”) of a large refund paid in error to a taxpayer. In form, however, the taxpayer is seeking money from the Government, having remitted to the IRS an amount similar to the refund, demanded by the IRS in connection with a different, once-disputed but subsequently satisfied income tax liability. The Government claims the right to retain the sum the taxpayer paid in, as an offset against the otherwise now unrecoverable erroneous refund.
