If you select the File By Mail option, or that is the only option available to you, then you will need to mail in your taxes to the IRS. You'll be prompted to print out your return. The first thing that prints out will be directions on how to file by mail. Then your return will print out. You'll have to send the files to the address on your instructions sheet.
