How do you pay IRS when they overpay your refund?

I received my refund. The amount is $300.00 over the amount I was entitled to from my tax return. I want to know who to contact to properly return the $300.


Can you claim tax refund on all taxed items?

If you have some legal basis for claiming that you overpaid the tax or that the tax was improperly assessed, then sure. About the only tax people routinely overpay is the income tax. Some overpay because they do not know how to properly fill out a form W-4. Some overpay because they think of it as a forced savings plan (and apparently do not trust banks). Some overpay because of the thrill of getting a big lump sum of their own money back once a year.


Can a state take a federal income tax return to pay back tanf?

Yes. See: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html Of course, if you adjusted your federal withholding so that you didn't overpay your taxes and need to get a refund, there would be nothing to take.


Are you really getting a refund when you get your tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service?

Yes, a refund of overpayment...but a refund nonetheless.


Can you file as an injured spouse for a tax refund if your husband had an affair and a baby and must now pay child support?

If the IRS is intercepting your joint tax refund to pay past due child support owed by your husband AND you are not legally liable for the payments under the laws of your state, then yes. What I don't know is whether you have no legal liability for such payments if the affair occurred while you were married (particularly if you live in a community property state). You should contact a family law attorney for clarification. Of course, there is a much better solution to your problem. DON"T OVERPAY YOUR TAXES. If you don't overpay your taxes, you won't be getting a refund and you won't have to worry about someone taking it away from you. Go to your employer's HR or payroll department and ask for a new W-4 form (and whatever the state equivalent is) and increase the number of withholding allowances you claim so that you pay roughly the amount of tax you really owe instead of having too much tax taken out of your pay every week.

Will you ever get a tax refund again if you file chapter7 bankruptcy?

Sure. And you get one before and during C 7 too. Its just that a refund is a return of an overpayment, an amount that you put on deposit above what was needed if you will, and you hand it over so it can be used to pay the debts it would have been available for. After BK, if you overpay tax on any of those earnings, it is yours to do with as needed also.
