Stop and Start Dates for Overpayment Interest
In general, we pay interest on the amount you overpay starting from the later of the:
- Tax return filing due date
- Late filed tax return received date
- Date we get your return in a format we can process
- Date the payment was made
We stop paying interest on overpayments on the date we refund your overpayment (and interest) or offset it to an outstanding liability.
Exception: We have administrative time (typically 45 days) to issue your refund without paying interest on it.
For confirmation and more details see IRS Interest.
