Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are getting a tax REFUND you have up to three years from the filing deadline to file your return and still receive the refund. If you had tax due--tax owed to the IRS---then missing the filing deadline and not paying means penalties and interest that begin with the filing deadline.
Putting two years of returns in the same envelope risks that the worker who opens the mail misses one. You should mail each year in its own envelope. It is also a good idea to use a mailing service that tracks it so you know your return is received.
It seems you are filing these returns because you believe it has something to do with stimulus checks that may be issued. Keep in mind that nothing has been decided or voted on yet by Congress. We do not know yet how the program will be handled and whether filing a tax return is required.
