Hi how can i get the irs to take what i owe out my return money

you can't both owe and be due a refund. It's one or the other.  If you owe it was due 4/15/2024 unless impacted by the San Diego County floods then it's due 6/17/2024

 

1) send in 1040-V with a check - 

• Make your check or money order payable to “United States
Treasury.” Don’t send cash. 
• Make sure your name and address appear on your check or
money order.
• Enter your daytime phone number and your SSN on your
check or money order. If you have an Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN), enter it wherever your SSN is
requested. If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSN shown
first on your return. Also, enter “2023 Form 1040,” “2023 Form
1040-SR,” or “2023 Form 1040-NR,” whichever is appropriate.
• To help us process your payment, enter the amount on the
right side of your check like this: $ XXX.XX. Don’t use dashes or
lines (for example, don’t enter “$ XXX—” or “$ XXX xx/100”).

2) if you haven't filed yet you can select direct debit and provide your bank's routing number and your account number

3) use any one of the payment methods on the IRS website

Do you mean that you owe the state?  And you want the IRS to pay the state from your federal refund?  That is impossible.

 

 

 

The “summary” given to you by TurboTax must have confused you.  That summary just nets out the difference between a refund you are getting and an amount you owe.   Or it adds two refunds or tax “due” amounts together.

 

 

The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other.  

 

Your state tax due cannot be paid from a federal refund.

 

And….your federal tax due cannot be paid from a state refund.  

 

Neither refund can be used to pay the amount due to the other one.

 

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2024.

 

 

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
