Do i mail my tax return

In the United States, you have several options to file your tax return, and whether you need to mail it depends on the method you choose. Here are your options:

1. E-file (Electronic Filing): You can file your tax return electronically through tax preparation software like TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct. This is the fastest and most popular way to file your taxes. Once you've completed your return, the software will submit it to the IRS electronically.
2. Mail a paper return: If you prefer to file a paper return, you can print and mail your completed Form 1040 and supporting documents to the IRS. Make sure to sign and date the return before mailing it.
