Where to mail 1040 with payment

To mail your 1040 tax return with payment, you can use the following address:

Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 802501 Cincinnati, OH 45280-2501

Make sure to:

  1. Write "1040" on the envelope: This will help the IRS quickly identify the type of return you're sending.
  2. Include your payment: You can pay by check or money order made payable to the "United States Treasury." Do not send cash.
  3. Attach a copy of your payment voucher: If you're using a payment voucher (Form 1040-V), attach it to the front of your return.
  4. Sign and date your return: Make sure to sign and date your return to avoid delays.

If you're mailing a payment only (without a return), you can use the following address:

Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 802501 Cincinnati, OH 45280-2501

Make sure to include your payment voucher (Form 1040-V) and write "Payment Only" on the envelope.

Remember to keep a copy of your return and payment for your records.
