How to recover overpayment? sent return. received refund. filed amended return. accepted. owed $. instructions said mail check. irs withdrew with ach, then cashed check?

used turbotax for return

From personal experience, the IRS does refund the overpayment. It might be a pain in the neck trying to talk to a live agent at the IRS.

Response good. As most know, hard to contact IRS. Will leave overpayment with IRS as estimated 2022 taxes. Easiest option.

It doesn't work that way.

When IRS sees your overpayment based on 1040-X, assuming it is correct, IRS will send the money back to you.
