Do i mail the forms and w2 form when I'm finished with my taxes?

If you are e-filing your taxes, you do not need to submit any forms or tax documents by mail unless the program tells you to do so.  The goal of e-filing is to eliminate as much paperwork as possible.

There are a handful of situations where you might have to mail something after e-filing, for example if your return contains Form 8453.  If yours is one of them, we'll let you know. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

We do recommend that you print your return for your records after your e-filed return has been accepted.
