What Is Form 1040 V 2021

Form 1040-V is an IRS payment voucher used by taxpayers to submit payment of their outstanding tax balance. You send a statement with a check or money order for any balance due on the "Amount you owe" line of your Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR. This form provides the IRS with the necessary information to correctly associate the payment with the taxpayer's account. Although it may seem like a simple slip of paper, it ensures that your payment is processed promptly and accurately, minimizing the potential for errors in your account standings.

  • Those with a balance due on their tax return (Form 1040 or its variants) are not paying electronically.
  • Individuals who opted to mail their payment after completing their return electronically didn't schedule an electronic payment.
  • Taxpayers must make additional payments toward their balance due after submitting their tax return. Utilizing this voucher during these situations is essential to maintain orderly records with the IRS and properly apply your funds.

Where To File Form 1040 V 2021

The mailing address for Form 1040-V can vary depending on your state and whether you are including a payment. To find the correct address:

  • Determine if you are including payment. Different addresses are used for payments versus submissions without payments.
