Can i mail my turbotax return

Yes, you can mail your TurboTax return to the IRS. However, it's important to note that the IRS recommends e-filing your tax return instead of mailing it. Here's why:

  1. Faster processing: The IRS processes e-filed returns faster than paper returns. You'll typically receive your refund within 6-8 weeks, whereas paper returns can take 8-12 weeks or more.
  2. Reduced errors: E-filing reduces the risk of errors and mistakes, as TurboTax will review your return for accuracy before submitting it to the IRS.
  3. Increased security: E-filing is a more secure way to submit your tax return, as it's encrypted and transmitted directly to the IRS.

If you still prefer to mail your TurboTax return, make sure to follow these steps:

  1. Print your return: Print your completed TurboTax return on white paper, using the "Print" button in your TurboTax account.
  2. Sign and date: Sign and date your return in the space provided.
  3. Attach all required documents: Attach any required documents, such as W-2s, 1099s, and receipts for deductions.
  4. Use the correct mailing address: Use the correct mailing address for your state and type of return (e.g., individual, business, etc.). You can find the mailing addresses on the IRS website.
  5. Use certified mail: Consider using certified mail with return receipt requested to track your return and ensure it's received by the IRS.

Remember to keep a copy of your return and supporting documents for your records.
