Overpayment to IRS on tax owed on amended return
This is a really stupid question and I feel even more idiotic for having to ask it. My wife filed our 2024 taxes not realizing she had a W-2 for short-term disability coming. We received our refund, $3432.00 before the forms to amend were available. Once they’re were available, she filed an amended return that looked like we were going to have to pay back $1439.00. On March 31, we paid the $1439.00. Shortly after that, we received a notice from the IRS that said we owed $1068.00. We logged in to IRS.gov and it now shows that we have a CREDIT balance (overpayment) of $371.00. How do we get that money back? Will they pay it out automatically like a regular refund? Or, do we have to call them and request it? We are really short on cash so it would be nice to get it back. Any help is appreciated!
