Can one still mail in federal tax return

Yes, you can still mail in your federal tax return. The IRS still accepts paper returns by mail, and you can use the following methods to file:

  1. Paper Return: You can print and complete the paper Form 1040 and other required forms, and then mail them to the IRS. Make sure to sign and date the forms, and include all required attachments, such as W-2s and 1099s.
  2. Form 1040-V: If you owe taxes, you can use Form 1040-V to pay your taxes by check or money order. You can also use this form to request an extension of time to file your return.

To mail your tax return, follow these steps:

  1. Address the envelope to:
    • Internal Revenue Service
    • P.O. Box 1300
    • Charlotte, NC 28201-1300 (for paper returns)
    • Internal Revenue Service
    • P.O. Box 802510
    • Cincinnati, OH 45280-2510 (for Form 1040-V)
  2. Make sure to use the correct postage and ensure the envelope is properly sealed.
  3. Keep a copy of your return and attachments for your records.

Important: If you're mailing a payment, make sure to include a payment voucher (Form 1040-V) with your payment. You can also use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to make electronic payments.

Note: The IRS recommends filing electronically, as it's faster and more accurate. Electronic filing also reduces the risk of errors and identity theft. If you're unsure about which method to use, you can consult with a tax professional or the IRS website for more information.
