Owe 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!

   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.
