- You'll see 3 steps. Complete Steps 1 and 2
- if you haven’t already, then select Start or Revisit next to Step 3.
- On the screen that says "We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes" screen,
- Select "Change" next to the return you want to file by mail, and
- Select File by mail on the next screen. Make sure you save your return.

Once you change your payment method, you'll see the File by mail option as described above. Select this and continue to the next step.
