if i am currently paying a instalment agreement for my 2015 return and i have 800 left to pay. and i am expected a 2000 refund this year. Can i file some kind of exertion on this years to give me a month to finish paying off my 800 so that when i do file i get my full 2000 back? is there a fee to do that?

so they charge me inters and penalty even though i have a active installment agreement for the 2015 return that I'm paying on? or is it just fees to file an extension on your 2018 return even if i don't owe anything for 2018 ?

Sorry ... the IRS will take the balance due from the refund ... there is no way around that ... good news is you will not make any more payments.

but I'm not filing so they cant take it until i file right? so when you file for exertion isn't that not filing your refund yet?

However if you really want to wait to file the return until the balance due is paid in full ( dumb since the penalties and interest are still accruing so you would owe less if you let the IRS take it in full now) you can simply file an extension ...  
You'll be able to file an extension thru TurboTax by following these steps:
1. Click on the Federal Taxes tab
2. Click on the Other Tax Situations sub tab
3. Scroll down to Other Tax Forms
4. Select File An Extension

Yes .. everyday the balance due is left unpaid there is penalties and interest accruing even if you are on a payment plan ... have you not noticed that on any of the statements they have sent ?   You really need to check out your balance due to see where you really stand ....<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account">https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-accou...>

And there is no fee to file an extension and no penalty since you are getting a refund ... but again I would file asap so the debt is paid off and the juice stops running.
