## Facts

### What Is Form 1040-V Used For?

Form 1040-V is used as a statement sent with a check or a money order for the balance due on your income tax return. It’s submitted only for these two specific cases, though, not for online payments.

### Who Should Use Form 1040-V?

All taxpayers who wish to send their payment by a check or a money order should use Form 1040-V. This applies even if you’ve submitted your income tax return electronically, as long as you’re not using the online payment option.

### When Is Form 1040-V Due?

Form 1040-V is due when your federal income taxes are due: on April 15th. If this day falls on a federal holiday or a weekend, it’s pushed to the next business day. If you file a tax extension, note that any taxes owed are still due by April 15th. An extension only extends the time to file, not the time to pay.

### What Happens If Form 1040-V Is Not Submitted?

If Form 1040-V isn’t submitted, your payment processing may be delayed, but there won’t be any other significant consequences. That’s because the check contains the necessary information to make the payment possible. However, the IRS may need more time to match the payment to the correct tax year.

### How and Where Do I File Form 1040-V?

You should file Form 1040-V with the IRS, using one of the mailing addresses listed in the form instructions. When submitting it, put it in an envelope with your payment or return, but don’t staple them together.
