I e-filed my Federal taxes and paid the tax due online. Feds rejected it, so I'll have to mail my return. Do I still have to include a check for tax due?

I originally e-filed for my federal taxes and paid the tax due online. I got rejected, and now have to mail my taxes in. Do I have to add attached another check for my tax due? If so, will I get refunded for the tax due I paid online? When can I expect that online charge be refunded back to my account?

Thanks,

If your e-file was rejected, then your tax payment would not have gone through either. The IRS only drafts payments if the return is accepted. Check with your bank. Therefore, you should send a check along with your tax return when you mail it.

But if you actually went online at the IRS and paid it then do not send another payment.
