Answer 4

IF you are making payments then read your installment agreement terms and conditions listed in your installment agreement letter you received when the IA was granted (LTR 3217C, LTR 2604C, LTR 2840C)or whichever letter you received;  IT clearly states if you owe and you have any refunds due to you they will be offset to your debt.  IT also states that even though your refund is being offset you must still make  your monthly payment on time, if you don't you could risk defaulting the installment agreement and charge reinstatement fees.

Answer 5

Yes.  According to the IRS:

Q. I'm eligible for a payment but I still owe federal income tax from a prior year. Will my payment be reduced?

A. Yes. For this purpose, the stimulus payment is treated like any other tax refund. This means that part or all of your payment can be used to pay past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support. If this occurs, you will receive a letter explaining how the stimulus payment was applied.

Answer 6

Well sure - they can and will
