Payment of tax due from your stimulus check was not even offered as an option.  Why do you think you made a duplicate payment?  If you did not yet receive a stimulus check it has nothing to do with having federal tax due for your 2019 tax return.

So I received my stimulus check direct deposit in my account  then I turned around and then send the IRS my payment on. Then on July 15 the IRS deducted that same amount again that’s why I think I paid twice because one payment plus one payment  equals

Wait for it....

Then the mistake was yours--you could have canceled the scheduled payment but you did not do that.  It will take some time but the IRS will see that you overpaid your tax due, and refund the overpayment.

 

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.
