It should say on the instruction page or look it up here……

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 received the return.

The State filing instruction page does say where to mail the return. The Federal filing instructions do not have Any mailing instructions, whatsoever.

The Federal tax return Filing Instructions will not have any mailing address if you elected to e-file the federal tax return.

@stephanieedougherty   For what year?  And what state?  It's too early to file a state return for 2019.

Please see the attached link to find the address to mail your return to.  Be sure to pick the correct state in order to ensure the return is sent to the correct location.
