Overpaid amount due

[drdavidge]

 Hi, I used a service to send my tax payment in to the IRS, but I made a typo and overpaid. For example, If I owed $1,000 according to my tax return, I accidentally sent in $2,000. Is there a way to request a refund of that overpayment? Thanks

Yes. If you just overpaid, the IRS should actually send you back your money. If you made a mistake and need to amend your return to reflect the necessity of a return of funds. How to Recover Overpayments Made to the IRS

It happens all the time
