Can you file federal income tax by mail or is it only on line?

i am doing taxes of a lady who receive social security and has a parttime job on the side.  Can she claim the parttime business and also mail in the return to file it?

She can e-file or file by mail--her choice.   The cost of using the software is the same either way.

Enter her Social Security:

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

If she has self-employment income:

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
