If you receive a tax bill are you able to add just your federal tax withholding at your employer and use those additional withholding's to settle your tax bill?

You can request a payment plan with the IRS to pay your tax due:

No.  Each year is separate.  But if you don't pay it then they will take any refunds you get in the future.

Would they agreed to take 2017's refund as payment?

[VolvoGirl]

They will automatically take any refunds you get.  But there is no way to know if you will be getting a refund next year.

Well you  usually can predict your refund if your tax situation is not changing much. Meanwhile penalties and interest will accrue each month and also must be paid one way or another until your balance is cleared to zero.

Best to pay as much as you can directly, as often as you can. you can make a payment on line at any time, designate  "1040 - year 2016".
