The irs kept my $15k overpayment because I missed the filing deadline (2013--3yr 2017). I appealed & it was denied. In essence, I asked that they apply it to present taxes owed, & they declined so I had to pay $11k in addl current taxes.
The irs sent the $15k funds to the war fund.
Is this confiscation of my $15k overpayment a charitable donation that should be tax deductible to me?
To add insult, the original current taxes owed were $3k but ballooned up during irs appeals that were not timely.
They just kept sending me letters stating they were working on it & in the meantime, $3k in owed taxes amounted to $11k by the time I recvd their rejection.
Do I have any options?
