as far as I know, there are no additional tax liabilities. My CPA did my taxes in the US and he didn't mention anything. -

Checking or savings account is fine. It cannot go into your 401k. -

I had a friend who used such a service, i believe he had to pay 30% of the refund to them. Not worth it in my opinion, if you've already filed. They don't have any additional leverage. With the pandemic, bureaucracy takes a bit more time. Just be patient and keep sending them emails every 2 months. -

You can do either, based on multiple sources on this forum it appears there is no additional tax liability in the US. My taxes were done by my CPA and he didn't mention any additional tax liability. -

With the pandemic, things are probably worse. Just send a response that this form isn't applicable and keep emailing them. There is no way around the bureaucracy. -

I used the German consulate as that was recommended by the DRV. You may be able to manage with a confirmation from a notary.
