Thanks for the response.
Actually, I only want to get the withheld taxes back from the IRS. How do I indicate on the 1040 that these particular taxes should be refunded.
Thanks
You file one tax return for the entire year, reporting all your income, all your tax payments, calculating your final tax amount, and determining your refund (if your payments exceed your taxes). You can't get the backup withholding back any earlier than when you file your one official tax return (between January 30 and April 15, 2022).
Since you know you paid excess tax, you could reduce your withholding at your job by filing a new W-4 to have less tax taken out. Just remember to file another new W-4 in January to reset your withholding for 2022.
