IRS Form 1040-V Payment Voucher
What Is IRS Form 1040-V?
IRS Form 1040-V, Payment Voucher , is a supplementary document completed by taxpayers that chose to fulfill their financial obligations to fiscal organizations with the help of a check or money order.
Alternate Names:
- Tax Form 1040-V;
- IRS Payment Voucher.
When you prepare your regular income statement and fill out the instrument you will later use as an official confirmation of the payment being made, you also have to list the specifics of that payment on a separate voucher that becomes an essential part of your submission package.
This instrument was released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2023 , rendering previous editions of the form obsolete. An IRS Form 1040-V fillable version is available for download below.

What Is Form 1040-V Used For?
Fill out and file the IRS Payment Voucher to outline the details of the tax payment you are obliged to send annually. Although taxpayers are advised to opt for e-filing which is the safest and fastest method to submit the forms and pay the money they owe to fiscal authorities, paper returns and supplementary documentation mailed with them remain the preferred option for many individuals which is why you have an opportunity to send Tax Form 1040-V by certified mail. This simple tool will allow the IRS to process your payment without delay since they will have easy access to the key information related to the money you must pay.
What Is the Difference Between Form 1040 and 1040-V?
U.S. taxpayers are expected to provide tax organs with a detailed breakdown of their income every year by disclosing all relevant details in the IRS Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. This document should not be confused with IRS Form 1040-V whose purpose is to clarify the main details of the taxpayer and state how big the tax payment they are making is.
Form 1040-V is secondary to the income statement and is not always used by people who owe money to the IRS - only fill out this voucher if the payment method you selected is a money order or check. On the other hand, Form 1040 is not always accompanied by the voucher and it is up to the filer to decide whether this form is necessary based on the payment method they select on their own. Remember that the Tax Form 1040-V does not substitute the payment and cannot be mailed separately from Form 1040.
Form 1040-V Instructions
Follow these Form 1040-V instructions to fill out the voucher describing the payment:
-
Write down your social security number . Note that taxpayers that submit joint returns with their spouses need to state both social security numbers in the document - it is mandatory to specify the number that appears first on your income statement.
-
Record the amount of money you are sending via a money order or check . Do not forget to make the payment tool with the words that clearly confirm it is payable to the United States Treasury.
-
List your full name and residential address . The document has to contain the full name of your spouse as well if the income statement is filed on behalf of you both. Some people reside abroad which is why they are required to enter a few particulars that will identify their current location in further detail - indicate the name of the foreign country where you live at the moment, add the name of the country, state, or province, and state the postal code.
-
Once the voucher is completed, carefully separate it from the top half of the page and put it in the envelope you have prepared to use for your tax documentation . The check or money order as well as this voucher cannot be permanently or temporarily attached to the tax return - simply file them together without stapling or gluing the sheets of paper together. You may not send any cash in the envelope or submit a money order or check without specifying your full name and correspondence address on it.
