https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/paid-too-much-by-ignoring-amount-submitted-with-requested-for-extension/01/703123#M283059 <P>I submitted my final federal tax on 10/16 but did not deduct the amount that I had previously paid when I timely requested an extension in April. Last night I mistakenly paid $3968 instead of the $968 which was the amount that was owed following the amount submitted for the extension ($3000). Is there any way to make sure that the IRS takes payment of only the $968 amount? If not, what do I do?</P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:33:03 GMT Quahog 2019-06-06T13:33:03Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/paid-too-much-by-ignoring-amount-submitted-with-requested-for-extension/01/703123#M283059 <P>I submitted my final federal tax on 10/16 but did not deduct the amount that I had previously paid when I timely requested an extension in April.

I expect that the IRS will take the $3,968. Then at some later time they will notice that you overpaid and send you a refund for the excess. If that doesn't happen, you will have to either file an amended return or contact the IRS to straighten it out.<BR /></P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:33:05 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/the-best-thing-to-do-is-probably-to-just-wait-a-while-i/01/703126#M283060 rjs 2019-06-06T13:33:05Z
