When do I send a check?

ldydiane — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 18:06:49 GMT

I am e-filing today but I am going to send in a paper check to the IRS. I do not want to electronically pay. I do not have a check handy but can get one in a few days. So, my question is;

As long as I e-file today, can I send the check to the IRS in 3 days without penalty?

No--it will be late.

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2024.

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

The mailed payment voucher with your check envelope must be postmarked no later than 11:59pm today, April 15, 2024 to avoid the late payment penalty.
