IRS acknowledgement receipt

Form 1099-A/1099-C Assistance
Form
1099A and/or 1099C customer requests for assistance may not get an answer to
their individual situations prior to the filing deadline. We recommend
that you submit an extension now and avoid any potential penalties for not
filing in a timely fashion.

Making Payments
Electronic Funds Withdrawal
The
Refunds Today software supports electronic funds withdrawal with Form 4868. If
the taxpayer is filing an extension, they are still required to make any
payment due by April 18th. On the Main Information Worksheet under
the Self-Select and Practitioner Pin(s) section, be sure to select the Form
4868 with Direct Debit in both places. Make sure to enter the PIN information
for this type of return.
Mailing a Payment
If
the taxpayer mails the payment, Form 1040-V is not required. The taxpayer
simply needs to write their Social Security number, daytime telephone number,
and "2017 Form 4868" on the check or money order.
Credit/Debit Card Payments
For
the 2017 filing season, the IRS supports the following e-pay service providers

schedule, and each offers both phone and Internet payment services. A full list
