After you file

Even if the money is reflected on the return did it ever get paid ?   Do you have a cancelled check or bank statement showing anything was actually  paid with the extension ?  

 

If you do not have a receipt for the payment then it never happened ... so the IRS is correct.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you did pay  then : 

 

Take a look at your account transcript on the IRS web site ... do they have a payment listed ?   https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account

 

You could try to call ... may never get thru but you can try.

 

Or you can amend the return ... could take 6 months or more to process.

 

Or you can wait and see if the IRS every catches this overpayment and sends it to you.
