Sometimes it is better to wait for the IRS to question an issue before you try to explain it.
If you wish to file your return electronically instead of by mail, my suggestion is that you write up a thorough explanation of the situation and how you handled it on your tax return and keep that information with your tax records. That way, if the IRS questions anything regarding your return, you are ready with your explanation and you can provide it at that time. Just go ahead and write it now while the situation is fresh in your mind.
There are certain situations where you are required to enter comments and supporting details as part of your return, but there is not a method to add supporting details in general to an electronically filed return unless the IRS expects to see an explanation.
