<prompt> Human: So long story short, I did some freelancing back in 2014 that wasnt reported to the IRS. My full-time W2 was reported. There were some taxes owed as a result and I setup a payment plan PRIOR TO THIS YEARS taxes with the IRS to resolve the difference. During the setup for the payment plan, I spoke with a representative and asked whether or not this payment plan would have an impact on the 2015 taxes. I was told no over the phone since it was a different year, different taxes. I just checked my refund and the IRS has taken the difference. Do I have any resources available to me to argue this with the IRS? Im aware I didnt pay, but I setup the payment plan and have been 100 on time, etc. and I was given false information.  <response>: From the IRS Question: Can I receive a tax refund if I am currently making payments under an installment agreement or payment plan for a prior years federal taxes?Answer: Generally, no. A condition of your installment agreement is that the IRS will automatically apply any refund due to you against taxes you owe. If your refund exceeds your total balance due on all outstanding liabilities including accruals, you will receive a refund of the amount over and above what you owe.
