Can i still send my tax return by mail
Yes, you can still send your tax return by mail. The IRS accepts paper tax returns by mail, and you can use the following methods to submit your return:
- USPS: You can mail your tax return to the IRS using the United States Postal Service (USPS). Make sure to use the correct address and ensure your return is postmarked by the tax filing deadline.
- Private Carriers: You can also use private carriers like UPS or FedEx to send your tax return to the IRS. However, you'll need to use a certified mail service that provides proof of delivery and a tracking number.
Important: Before mailing your tax return, make sure to:
- Sign and date your return
- Attach all required documents, such as W-2s and 1099s
- Use the correct address for your tax return (see below)
