I can't seem to find a definitive answer on either Turbo Tax or IRS sites for:
- I've already efiled my 1040 using Turbo Tax, but I owe a small balance that I did NOT pay electronically when I filed because the fee to pay was more than the amount I owe.
- I've received confirmation from Turbo Tax that the IRS accepted my return
- Turbo Tax instructions say there's no fee if I mail the Form 1040-v (voucher) with a check to the proper IRS collection site for my state BEFORE the April 15 deadline. Turbo Tax does NOT mention any other attachments are needed.
- IRS instructions, however, say to mail a copy of the tax return WITH THE VOUCHER. This seems to be just a general instruction for all people MAILING their returns in. I could not find a specific instruction for what eFilers that don't pay electronically should do.
I thought about including a copy of the email from Turbo Tax that says my tax return was accepted by the IRS?? I'd prefer not to include unneeded attachments, as I know the IRS isn't happy when you do that. I also don't want them to impose a penalty for not including all the information they require. Any suggestions?
