Irs

[Samara9]

So I just received a letter from the IRS stating that my 2022 refund has been audited and amended and that it was adjusted so I owe for that year but I still have until May to send in documentation for the audit, but I already filed for this year. Will I get this year‘s taxes or will they take it? On the IRS website It doesn’t show that I owe anything.

In general, the IRS can hold your refund if there is a balance owed for previous tax years.  There is a chance if the balance due has not been recorded on your file, that the refund will still come to you.  If the IRS takes your refund, you will receive a notice from the IRS stating they are applying your refund to a previous year.  It will also be recorded on your account .
