If you owe tax due to the IRS, why are you looking for information on the refund site?  That site only shows information if you are getting a refund.   If you owe tax due, you were supposed to pay by April 15, 2025.   Your tax payment is now late and you are subject to owing interest.  

 

  Look on line 37 of your Form 1040 and pay the amount you owe to the IRS asap.  You might receive a bill later for an additional amount since you are late.

 

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
