Do i mail federal return with state return

In the United States, the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and your state tax authority have different mailing addresses for federal and state tax returns. Here's what you need to know:

Federal Tax Return (Form 1040):

• You can file your federal tax return electronically through the IRS Free File program or e-file through a tax preparation software like TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct.
• If you need to mail your federal tax return, use the following address:
  • IRS Service Center
  • Austin, TX 73301-0215

State Tax Return:

• The mailing address for your state tax return depends on the state where you live. You can find the correct address on your state's tax authority website or on the tax return form itself.
• Some states allow electronic filing, while others require a paper return. Check with your state's tax authority to determine the best method for filing your state tax return.

Tips:

• Make sure to sign and date your federal and state tax returns before mailing them.
• Keep a copy of your returns and supporting documents for your records.
• If you're using a tax preparation software, it will guide you through the filing process and provide the correct mailing addresses.
• If you're unsure about the mailing addresses or have questions about filing your tax returns, you can contact the IRS or your state tax authority for assistance.

Remember to file your tax returns on time to avoid any late filing penalties or interest. The deadlines for filing federal and state tax returns vary, but generally, the federal deadline is April 15th, while state deadlines may be earlier or later.
