When you print your return to file by mail, there will be a page of filing instructions that includes the addresses you are supposed to use.

 

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

When you print your return there will be a cover sheet with the address to mail to and a list of any documents that you need to include with the mailed return.  Use separate envelopes and addresses for federal and stata returns.  Be sure to sign the returns and to use a mailing service that lets you know when the return was received.
