This is how I paid back the IRS $1400 tax rebate

Here are the steps to pay back $1400 tax rebate that was incorrectly deposited for many folks. Follow these steps and you should be good.

1. Create your account or Log in to https://www.irs.gov/your-account -> Sign in to Individual account

2. Check your balance for Tax Year 2021, by going to your Transcripts (in your tax documents, online). When you log in you can find the transcripts under
   "records and status" > "tax records" > "view transcripts"

3. In your Transcripts, select 2021 and see what the outstanding balance is. It should be 1400 plus a few dollars (for me it was about $5.65)

4. Now that you have the exact figure, go back to the main page on your IRS account. Click on: Make a payment -> Select
   "pay towards your balance" in payment type -> Select Tax year "2021" -> Enter the exact amount to pay -> Confirm.

5. Print or save the confirmation that you receive at the end, and you're set. You should also receive an email with same details.

6. It will take 1-2 weeks for payment to process and your 2021 transcript will be updated. It should now show zero (negative is also fine).
