as long as the payments had your SSSN and the year you were paying the IRS should catch the double payment and refund the excess unless you owe like child support or some other item where there's an offset in effect.
if you don't get it in about 4 weeks you should call the IRS.

- Choose Option 2 (Personal income tax)
