Payment

[djeshm]

I e-filed my return and printed a voucher to send with my check at a later date.  I have two questions.

1)  Do I need to file a return with the voucher or only the voucher with my check?

2)  There is talk that the filing date has been extended to May 15, 2021.  Can I hold my check until then even though I have e-filed and the return has been accepted.

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

You only need to mail the voucher, Form 1040-V, with your check to the address on the voucher.  No other forms are needed to be mailed since you e-filed the tax return.

The due date for paying federal taxes owed has been changed to May 17, 2021, so make sure you mail the payment and voucher on or before that date.

Why did I get charged 120.00 for federal tax when turbo tax says federal is free when it's the standard deduction? This is very underhanded way of you getting customers although in the past when I filed with turbo tax I never had a problem. 

If this is the way you do business remove me from your system. I no longer want to do business with you if this is what you do.

I made a payment through turbo tax but could not file electronically it was rejected so I had to mail it. Where is the payment that I made through turbo tax for what I owe on the taxes

If your efile did not go though then the IRS (or state) didn't get the payment instructions to debit your account or charge your credit card.  You still need to pay.  Look at the mail instructions to see how you are suppose to pay now. 

How to pay the IRS

Pay the IRS directly at
https://www.irs.gov/payments

Your only proof of payment is your bank statement or credit card showing the payment coming out. Turbo Tax will always show the tax due or refund. That is just the final result on your tax return. Your return on Turbo Tax is not updated when you paid the tax due. The IRS doesn't tell Turbo Tax anything about your return. After Turbo Tax transmits your return they are done with their part.
