How Do I File Federal Return By Mail... and Pay Online?

[BTRR]

I will be filing my Federal return by mail.  I will be paying my amount due online (in my IRS account).

1. Do I include a 1040-V with my mailed return?

2. Do I include anything with my mailed return (to notify the IRS that I paid online)?

No, you do not need to notify the IRS that you paid online. Use the link below to make your payment. You can schedule the payment date.

• IRS Make a Payment

If you want to include the 1040-V you can simply write on it 'Paid Online' to give an indicator but it's not necessary. They will connect the payment with your tax return.
