Why would the IRS refund some and not others who are making installment payments on back taxes?
I received a full refund and have been making installment payments for more than a year, but others on here say the IRS will take the refund and apply it to your balance. I'm confused!

- who knows with the irs. probably just an oversite. be thankful- i know they take my parents and they make payments
- if you owe the IRS and you get a refund, it is a mistake. They take money from your refund to pay your liability. In other words, if you have back taxes owed and you are due a refund, they take theirs first! Don't expect a check!
- it must be an oversite b/c part of the installment agreement is that they will collect what is owed out of future refunds.
