I need clarification before I call the IRS. My luck with them over the phone hasn't been the best.
As stated, in 2008 I owed roughly 11k in back taxes due to an accounting error putting other people's income on my social. Once amended and rectified I was granted a refund but due to the age, I know I can't claim it.
Can the IRS apply the "refund" to any existing balances and can other years amended returns be applied as well?
I'm just trying to do this right and get off as cheaply while still being legal.

Refunds cannot be issued after the Statute of Limitations has expired, not can they be applied to outstanding taxes due.
