IRS sent letters saying I owed from a few years ago and now I suddenly don't
I never owe, I always get a return as someone with low income, but I forgot to file a few years back and they've sent a few letters about it. Getting an old W4 from that old job would be like pulling teeth so I was willing to just pay. I logged into the IRS website at the time and it did say I owed around $1,200 or so. I couldn't pay it right then since I live semi paycheck to paycheck, it took me around a month to collect the money. When I went to look at the balance today it said I owe nothing. I work a job that requires I be in good standing with the IRS so I'm a little nervous about that.
Some additional info that might be relevant: The government severely overcharged me for something years ago and recently contacted me to tell me I was owed a refund for that. It just went through a few days ago but it was far less than what I was expecting (not that I'm complaining). Do you think they just took it out of that automatically without telling me? I hope so, it's what I was going to use that for anyways.
