IRS question

[kanetrain]

Just wondering, I had to pay in about $1,700 last year and still owe a little bit on it(a couple hundred $), but this year I'll get about $1,000 back.

Do they take what I already owe them out of what I'm getting back and send me the rest or will I have to pay them off after I receive the money? I'm tax stupid apparently.

i bet they will withhold what they are owed.

god bless.

I figure that too. I don't care either way, because it's going to be paid off with that money regardless. I was just curious.

You can call the IRS line and see if they'be put a lien against your federal tax account. If there is a lien. they will garnish what they're owed out of your refund and send you the rest.

Oh ok, so I'd have to actually call them and tell them to do it in order for them to do it?

No, they have a lien line where you can see if they've put a lien on your account, and if your tax return will be garnished for back child support, back taxes, defaulted student loans, ect.

If this was last year, I'd assume they have a lien on your account, but you'll have an exact dollar amount of what they'll take.

they WILL take out what is owed, trust me. Went through this a few years ago, they don't miss much now with the systems they use.

Okey dokey, that is what I figured.

They'll keep it without you having to do anything. I've been on a payment plan with them before, and they keep what they need before sending you a nickel.
