Get Payment Tool Question

tlemp24 — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 07:40:41 GMT

Hi so i recently found out that i can input my info for direct deposit for the irs. When i do so, I put all of the correct info from my 2018 tax return because I haven't filed my 2019 one yet. The only problem is when i go to input the amount of my refund/owe money to irs option I don't know whether I owed money or I got a refund because I didn't get a refund last year. I've tried to put in all the amounts the 2018 tax return has given me in both options and I've got locked out now. I'm not sure whether I got a refund last year or I owed money. How do I find that out?

Please look at your form 1040 for 2018.

You had a refund when there is a number on line 20a.

You owed taxes when there is a number on line 22.

Hi, yes I tried that and it still didn’t work even with the correct amount that said on my 2018 1040
