Filing back taxes

I am filing my federal returns for 2017, 2018, and 2019.  What is the preferred method of delivery for this?  Put everything in one envelope and regular mail?  Individual regular mail for 2018 and 2017 with e-file 2019?  Looking for the method of delivery the IRS would prefer being that I am filing three years at once.  Thank you.

Mail each year in a separate envelope!  Or they will miss some. Get a tracking number from the post office so you know they got them.

 

Yes efile 2019.  You will need to enter 0 for the 2018 AGI since you didn't file 2018 on time.

Perfect, thanks.  Appreciate the AGI tip, would have screwed that up.

I have a 97 V90.  Flagship model that year.  They only made like 1800 for 1 1/2 years.  Before that I had a 83 240 wagon.
