Question

For 2019 we owed and we set up a payment plan directly with the IRS. They processed an extra payment for $1000. Can I deduct that overpayment to our 2020 return

No, if that extra $1000 payment was applied to your 2019 balance due then it is not deductible on your 2020 tax return.

The extra $1000 payment was $1000 more than what we owed for 2019. Specifically, we owed $8000 and ended up paying $9000. Can we get the extra $1000 back by deducting from what we owe for 2020?

You should be able to report this payment under Federal / Deductions & Credits / Estimates and other taxes paid / Income taxes paid / Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099. The withholding will be reported on line 25c of the 1040.

You may want to verify that the IRS has given you credit for this amount. View or create an IRS Account. See this.
