How to Pay HVUT by Check or Money Order

You can still pay by check or money order even when you e-file the return electronically. You e-file Form 2290 to get the stamped Schedule 1 quickly, then mail the payment separately with the Form 2290-V voucher.

Steps to pay by check or money order

1. 1When filing, select check or money order as the payment method, and print the Form 2290-V payment voucher.
2. 2Make the check or money order payable to the United States Treasury.
3. 3Write your EIN, the tax period, and "Form 2290" on the payment.
4. 4Mail the payment with the 2290-V voucher to the IRS address shown — do not staple them together, and do not mail cash.

Good to know

Because the return is e-filed, you usually get your stamped Schedule 1 without waiting for the mailed check to clear. Keep a copy of the check and voucher with your records as proof of payment.
