If I owe a balance from my taxes last year, will the IRS take what I owe out of my current refund and refund me the rest?

I'm currently on a payment plan to payoff the balance that I owed.

If you have back taxes owed and you file your 2016 tax return with a tax refund, the IRS will seize the tax refund and apply the refund to the taxes owed.  If the refund satisfies the debt then the IRS will send you the remainder of the refund.

That will happen no matter whether you e-file or mail in your return.  The IRS will offset your refund if you owe back taxes.
