I own a substantial balance on the 2018 federal return. Can I file the return using Turbo Tax, and mail the Form 1040-V to the Internal Revenue Service with my check?

Yes, you can e-file your Federal Tax Return and mail the Form 1040-V with your payment to the IRS by April 15, 2019.

Here are your payment options for your Federal balance due:

• Pay the IRS with a check or money order by mailing your payment with Form 1040-V.  

• Set up in TurboTax for your payment to be debited from your account and sent to the IRS on a specific date.  Click here for instructions: How does Direct Debit Work? 

• Pay directly through the IRS Website here: https://www.irs.gov/payments.
