Can anybody tell me why I just now amended my tax return and the next day the IRS tried to take over $8,000 out of my account when I'm waiting for a tax return.

I made a mistake on my original return so I amended it. The amount that my amended returns said that I would be getting back was the same amount the IRS tried to take out of my account the next day.

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one knows if you owed tax due on the original return --- did you e-file and choose to pay your tax due to the IRS via direct debit from your bank account?    And when you say you amended---did you e-file an amended return?   Contact the IRS to ask them what they are doing--or trying to do.

To  call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Always review your return carefully before submitting.

if  $8,000 is on line 20, IRS takes.

if $8,000 is on Line 22, IRS pays you.
