Do I cash my refund check or send the check back to the irs the difference that I owe due to an amendment?

[BrandiS · Accepted solution]

Yes. You can cash your refund and do what you wish with your refund. If you have taxes you owe you can pay by using this link to the IRS payments: https://www.irs.gov/payments

From here you will be able to set a payment plan as well if you need to. You can pay taxes owed now with out waiting for the amendment to be processed because amendments can take months.

Hope this was helpful!

But won't I have to pay that back if I cash and spend or just pay the difference?  I got 247 back but the amendment shows I owe 318 so the difference is 71 that is all I need to pay then?
