If I owe money and I want to pay by check, do I file by Mail or E-file?

If you owe money and want to pay by check, you can choose either e-filing or mailing.  If you e-file, you do not need to include any W-2's, etc.

When you print your return, there will be an instruction sheet and a payment voucher to mail with your check (Form 1040-V).

You have the option to pay your balance due to the IRS with a check or money order or you can pay directly through the IRS Website here: https://www.irs.gov/payments.
