Form 1040-V Payment Question

To whom it may concern,

When I include the essential information (SSN, Name, Address and Pay to the Order info) on the money order, I quickly realized that I forgot to put the Form 1040 and the year concerning this year's tax season. Given I've provided both the payment voucher and the money order in its way to the appropriate address (Hartford, CT), does that omission pose problems on my end to ensure a full payment on the outstanding balance? If not, is all of the aforementioned information enough to put in the money order to that extent?

While it's always a good idea to specify on your check or money order the tax year covered by the payment, the accompanying voucher that does specify the tax year should prevent any confusion at the IRS.
