1040-V Payment Voucher

2021

Form 1040-V

What Is Form 1040-V?

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service

Notice to taxpayers presenting checks. When you provide a
check as payment, you authorize us either to use information
from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from
your account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
When we use information from your check to make an electronic
fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as
soon as the same day we receive your payment, and you will not
receive your check back from your financial institution.
No checks of $100 million or more accepted. The IRS can’t
accept a single check (including a cashier’s check) for amounts
of $100,000,000 ($100 million) or more. If you are sending $100
million or more by check, you will need to spread the payments
over two or more checks, with each check made out for an
amount less than $100 million.
Pay by cash. This is an in-person payment option for individuals
provided through retail partners with a maximum of $1,000 per day
per transaction. To make a cash payment, you must first be
registered online at www.officialpayments.com/fed, our Official
Payment provider.

It’s a statement you send with your check or money order for
any balance due on the “Amount you owe” line of your 2021
Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR.

all your electronic payment options.

How To Fill in Form 1040-V

second on your return.
Line 3. Enter the amount you are paying by check or money
order. If paying online at www.irs.gov/Payments, don’t complete

How To Send in Your 2021 Tax Return,
Payment, and Form 1040-V
• Don’t staple or otherwise attach your payment or Form 1040-V
to your return or to each other. Instead, just put them loose in
the envelope.
• Mail your 2021 tax return, payment, and Form 1040-V to the
address shown on the back that applies to you.

How To Prepare Your Payment
• Make your check or money order payable to “United States
Treasury.” Don’t send cash. If you want to pay in cash, in
person, see Pay by cash, later.
• Make sure your name and address appear on your check or
money order.
• Enter your daytime phone number and your SSN on your
check or money order. If you have an Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN), enter it wherever your SSN is
requested. If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSN shown
first on your return. Also, enter “2021 Form 1040,” “2021 Form
1040-SR,” or “2021 Form 1040-NR,” whichever is appropriate.
• To help us process your payment, enter the amount on the
right side of your check like this: $ XXX.XX. Don’t use dashes or
lines (for example, don’t enter “$ XXX—” or “$ XXX xx/100”).
