Can i mail my federal return and efile my state
Yes, you can mail your federal tax return and e-file your state tax return. Here's how:
Mailing your federal tax return:
- Complete your federal tax return (Form 1040) and attach all required documents, such as W-2s and 1099s.
- Sign and date the return.
- Mail the return to the IRS address listed on the instructions for your specific state or region. You can find the address on the IRS website or on the instructions for your specific form.
E-filing your state tax return:
- Complete your state tax return (Form ST-1, ST-2, etc.) and attach all required documents, such as W-2s and 1099s.
- Sign and date the return.
- Choose a tax preparation software or service that offers e-filing for your state, such as TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct.
- Follow the software's instructions to upload your state return and any required documents.
- Review and submit your return electronically.
Important notes:
- Make sure to check the deadlines for both your federal and state tax returns. Federal tax returns are typically due on April 15th, while state deadlines may vary.
- If you're using a tax preparation software or service, ensure that it offers e-filing for your state and that you follow their instructions carefully.
- Keep a copy of your federal and state tax returns, as well as any supporting documents, for your records.
By mailing your federal tax return and e-filing your state tax return, you can ensure that both returns are processed accurately and on time.
