Can I Get My Tax Return Back?

[Anonymous]

I owe a back federal tax amount for 2017. I currently have an offer in compression processing. According to the agent I spoke to who evaluated it initially, she said it's very likely it'll get approved (especially if she is the one assigned to it). However, I filed my 2019 taxes and my return was immediately applied to that past-due balance.

My questions is; if this balance is forgiven and I'm allowed to do the offer in compromise, shouldn't I be entitled to petition to get that tax return back? Since it was applied to a balance that is no longer valid? And if so, how would I do this?

From my understanding, in the paper work it states they will still take the current year return. So starting next year taxes is that they wont take anymore. Same thing happened to me.

Likely you would just speak with the Compression part, they won't return the return that they took out of your taxes.    I hope I did that right Lol
