What?  To the IRS?  No,  you have to have your Social Security number on your tax return when you file it with the IRS and/or your state.   Why do you want to black out the SSN's?

I have NEVER mailed in my tax returns before and am nervous/worried like I'm sure other people would be to mail in personal information such as that. I got it figured out so thanks. Not that easy and simple to just send your life in the mail. Thanks

returns have been mailed to the IRS since the beginning of time. well, the beginning of the income tax, anyway.

Make sure to mail it from the post office and get a tracking number so you know the IRS gets it.
