Can i mail two years of taxes together

Yes, you can mail two years of taxes together, but there are some considerations to keep in mind:

  1. IRS guidelines: The IRS recommends filing and mailing tax returns separately, as each year's return is processed individually. However, if you're filing multiple years' worth of taxes together, make sure to follow the IRS guidelines for filing multiple years' worth of taxes.
  2. Form and attachments: Ensure that each year's return is complete and includes all necessary forms and attachments, such as W-2s, 1099s, and schedules. You may need to use additional forms or schedules for each year, so be sure to include them.
  3. Payment: If you owe taxes for one or both years, you'll need to include payment with your return. You can pay online, by phone, or by check. Make sure to include a payment voucher (Form 1040-V) with your payment.
  4. Address: Use the correct address for mailing your tax return. For the IRS, the address is:
    • Internal Revenue Service
    • 1111 Constitution Ave NW
    • Washington, DC 20224-0002
  5. Signature: Sign and date each year's return, as you would with a single-year return.
  6. Envelopes: Use separate envelopes for each year's return, or use a single envelope with separate tabs or dividers to separate the returns.
  7. Tracking: Consider using a trackable shipping method, such as certified mail or priority mail, to ensure your returns are delivered to the IRS.

Some benefits of mailing multiple years' worth of taxes together include:

However, keep in mind that the IRS may process each year's return separately, and you may receive separate notices or refunds for each year.

Before mailing your taxes, make sure to review the IRS guidelines and consult with a tax professional if you have any questions or concerns.
