How do I get a refund from the IRS if I was double charged? I owed $666, but the IRS charged me $1,332 instead.

Did the IRS change something on your return causing the change to the balance due ?

@scottfournier928 did you get a letter from the IRS? 

Suggestions

1) check you tax return again, the amount you owed is on Line 37 of Form 1040.  Did you pay that already? can you see that debited from your bank account?  is it possible that you didn't pay this amount and the IRS is now sending a letter for the same amount?

2) check your transcript on IRS.GOV..  what does it state as the amount due? THAT is what is due.

3) did the iRS send a letter adjusting yuour return? what does it say? what did it adjust?

I sent a check for the amount I owed ($666). They cashed it on 3/28. Then a direct debit was made a week later for an additional $666. I must’ve checked off the direct debit option when I was filing and did not realize.

@scottfournier928 - give it time; they should zero out your account and send the money back

Has your tax return been processed yet?
