Refund Inquiries
Question: Can a person receive a tax refund if they are currently in a payment plan for prior year's federal taxes? |
|
Answer: As a condition of your agreement, any refund due you in a future year will be applied against the amount you owe.
-
Continue making your installment agreement payments as scheduled because your refund is not considered as a substitute for your regular payment due.
-
You may not get all of your refund if you owe certain past-due amounts, such as federal tax, state tax, a student loan, or child support.
-
IRS will automatically apply the refund to the taxes owed.
