Installment payments for IRS with one spouse SSN

[LK555]

Hello,

During the year I have been paying installment payments for IRS toward 2024 Tax Year.

The payment were made with my husband's SSN.

We decided to fill 2024 Taxes as married separately.  Can I use these payment part of my Tax return (of course he will not add them to his)?

No, unfortunately, normal IRS procedure does not allow this, and they would only be able to see what the computer has on file.  If you did not include your tax id number with the estimated tax payment, it will be credited to your husband's account.  He would not be able to get a refund until he files his tax return. 

It may be worth a call to the IRS at 800-829-1040 (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time) to see if they can assist you in moving the payment.
