If you are mailing the return, you can certainty do that.
But I would say that as a general rule, the IRS does not want paper, unless they specifically ask for it. This even includes the tax returns themselves on paper, which they discourage (but sometimes you just have to file on paper).
As an aside, I filed the 1040 tax return for my father a couple of years ago, and printed and mailed it in. Based on the letters and calls with the IRS, it was pretty clear to me that they did not enter his return into the IRS system - they asked me things like "where is the Schedule D", which was in the packet I sent. For all I could tell, they dropped the return on the floor and didn't pick up all the pages. So it's a good idea to avoid adding any more sheets of paper than necessary to the process.
