Overpayment of tax

An overpayment of tax is a payment or a total of payments in excess of the amount determined to be the correct amount of tax for the taxable year. The Code provides that the term includes that part of the amount of the payment of any internal revenue tax which is assessed or collected after the expiration of the limitation period properly applicable to such assessment or collection.
