After I file my amended tax return, turboTax ask me to mail a payment voucher

[superlyc]

I just e-filed amended return. And I will have a refund. But after the e-file. The turboTax mac version ask me print a 1040-V (payment voucher) and mail it to the IRS. The 1040-V says I should attach the payment ( a check) with it and mail them to IRS.

I already paid my tax together with my original return. What should I do with this 1040-V?

Wish you would have asked this question BEFORE you efiled the return   ... so look at the 1040X and see if you do indeed owe anything or you are getting a refund then you will know if you need to use the voucher or not.

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. 

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.

Thank you. I do see a refund on line 22. The voucher 1040-V has the amount I should pay for this year, which I already overpaid. So, this voucher does not make sense to me.

Hi there, I just came across the same issue - after efiled the amended return i should be getting a refund from IRS but Turbotax asked me to print the form 1040-V payment voucher... i wonder if you actually mailed it last year? Thank you so much!

Don't be confused.

The voucher is used to assist recording of the check you mail.

If you filed for a refund, you don't send in money.

If your tax return shows amount you owe, you'd better pay it.

Do not remember exactly what that is about. But I don't think I used those.

Thanks Fanfare for your response. The amended return is for a refund thats why I thought was weird that TT asked me to print a payment voucher and mail to IRS... thanks for your helps 🙂
