In 2014 I worked for a contractor and was laid off seven months later. I owed ~$2400 to the IRS and paid, now they want more?

2014 was a big year for me tax-wise. I bought a house, I was in college, I had a job in the beginning and got hired on as a contractor in my field. I was let go abruptly, and when tax time came around I found I owed a cool $2400. I contacted the IRS, worked out a payment plan, and they took $120 out of my account direct for nearly 2 years.

This morning I got a letter saying I have a lien against my account and owe another $860. I have the paperwork showing my payments. My bank (USAA) has a statement every single month from the IRS showing their withdrawal. I've never been contacted about anything extra, and I did all of my taxes and talked to them.

Does the IRS make mistakes like this even when I set up everything through them? I'm going to call in an hour when they open, but I have no idea what to do other than, "Please look at my account and find where I paid you money for two years."

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: So it is from the state revenue department. However, this letter came as a notice of a lien against me for failure to pay, but it's also the first I've seen from the state, especially from this year.

I called the lien department, disputed because I've set up payment plans and paid through a service the IRS provided me where, since I also owed federal taxes, they took on the state taxes through their plan - or so I thought.

I got sent through a few departments with our state (surprise) and they said nothing came through from the federal side, so I needed to contact IRS.

I call IRS, they've run through my past history, say my account through them is fine, but to their knowledge nothing came from them to the state. When I inquired why they offered the plan and it didn't happen, they seemed to believe it was an error on their side, and the $2400 I paid was all federal.

So I've run through my bank statements. I've owed state/federal since that year and I've paid. Everything seems good. I have not received anything about 2014 since 2014 (aside from pay statements). It's really confusing to me.

I don't like that they're currently saying it's in collections and I'll have fees and stuff for no communication prior, but I never got anything. Will update again when I have more info as to what is going on.
