Consider Making Your Tax Payment 

Electronically—It’s Easy

You can make electronic payments online, by phone, or from a 

mobile device. Paying electronically is safe and secure. When 

you schedule your payment, you will receive immediate 

confirmation from the IRS. Go to www.irs.gov/Payments to see 

all your electronic payment options.

How To Fill in Form 1040-V

Line 1. Enter your social security number (SSN).

If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSN shown first on

your return.

Line 2. If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSN shown 

second on your return.

Line 3. Enter the amount you are paying by check or money 

order. If paying online at www.irs.gov/Payments, don’t complete 

this form.

Line 4. Enter your name(s) and address exactly as shown on 

your return. Please print clearly.

How To Prepare Your Payment

• Make your check or money order payable to “United States 

Treasury.” Don’t send cash. If you want to pay in cash, in 

person, see Pay by cash, later.

• Make sure your name and address appear on your check or 

money order.

• Enter your daytime phone number and your SSN on your 

check or money order. If you have an Individual Taxpayer 

Identification Number (ITIN), enter it wherever your SSN is 

requested. If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSN shown 

first on your return. Also, enter “2023 Form 1040,” “2023 Form 

1040-SR,” or “2023 Form 1040-NR,” whichever is appropriate. 

• To help us process your payment, enter the amount on the 

right side of your check like this: $ XXX.XX. Don’t use dashes or 

lines (for example, don’t enter “$ XXX—” or “$ XXX xx/100”).

Notice to taxpayers presenting checks. When you provide a 

check as payment, you authorize us either to use information 

from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from 

your account or to process the payment as a check transaction. 

When we use information from your check to make an electronic 

fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as 

soon as the same day we receive your payment, and you will not 

receive your check back from your financial institution.

No checks of $100 million or more accepted. The IRS can’t 

accept a single check (including a cashier’s check) for amounts 

of $100,000,000 ($100 million) or more. If you are sending $100 

million or more by check, you will need to spread the payments 

over two or more checks, with each check made out for an 

amount less than $100 million. 

Pay by cash. This is an in-person payment option for 

individuals provided through retail partners with a maximum of 

$1,000 per day per transaction. To make a cash payment, you 

must first be registered online at www.acipayonline.com, our 

official payment provider. Click on “Federal IRS payments” to 

make your payment.
