Put the actual date you are signing it.

Use the actual date that you sign it.   You have three years from the filing deadline to file a tax return if you do not owe or are getting a refund.   If you are filing a joint return, both spouses have to sign.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
