Can I receive a tax refund if I am currently making payments under an installment agreement or payment plan for another federal tax period?
ANSWER
No, one of the conditions of your installment agreement is that any refund due to you, the IRS will automatically apply against taxes you owe.
Because your refund isn’t applied toward your regular monthly payment, continue making your installment agreement payments as scheduled.
If your refund exceeds your total balance due on all outstand ing liabilities including accruals, and you don’t owe certain past-due amounts, such as federal tax, state tax, a student loan, or child support, you’ll receive a refund of the amount over and above what you owe.
