How do i send my taxes by mail

To send your taxes by mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have the correct mailing address: Check the IRS website or your tax form instructions to ensure you're sending your taxes to the correct address. The IRS has different mailing addresses for different types of tax returns and forms.
2. Use the correct envelope: Use a sturdy envelope that can withstand the rigors of mailing. You can use a plain white envelope or a pre-addressed envelope from the IRS.
3. Include all required documents: Make sure you include all required documents, such as:
   • Your completed tax return (Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ)
   • Any supporting schedules and forms (e.g., W-2, 1099, etc.)
   • Any payment vouchers or checks (if you're paying by check)
4. Use the correct postage: Use a stamp or affix the correct postage to your envelope. The cost of postage is currently $0.55 for a first-class letter.
5. Sign and date your return: Sign and date your tax return in the space provided.
6. Mail your return: Place your return in the envelope and mail it to the correct address. Make sure to mail it well before the tax filing deadline to avoid any potential delays.

Important tips:

• Make a copy of your return and supporting documents before mailing them. This will help you keep a record of your submission and make it easier to correct any errors.
• Use a trackable shipping method, such as certified mail or priority mail, to ensure your return is delivered to the IRS.
• If you're paying by check, make sure to write your name and address on the check and include the payment voucher (Form 1040-V) with your return.
• If you're experiencing difficulties mailing your return, you can consider using the IRS's Electronic Filing (e-file) option or seeking assistance from a tax professional.
