We owed taxes this year, and was more than expected. So when i finished the turbo tax program i chose the payment plan. but i did not realize their would be a finance charge penalty to pay of almost 30%. so we wrote a check for the whole amount, and sent it with the assigned payment voucher (#1) to the address on the voucher on 4-14-25. The bank shows the check was cashed on 4-29-25. recently we have received past-due letters to both my wife and I for payment and current penalty. According to the website, it doesn't show as paid. we called the IRS and were really given no help. Claiming we did something in error. Anyway the IRS seems to have our money but is not applying it to our account. what to do?
