Mail federal tax return

To mail your federal tax return, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have the correct mailing address: The IRS has different mailing addresses depending on the state you live in. You can find the correct address on the IRS website or on your tax return instructions.
2. Use the correct envelope: Use a large, flat envelope that is at least 9 1/2 inches wide and 12 1/2 inches long. This will help prevent your return from being damaged during transit.
3. Use the correct postage: Make sure you have enough postage to mail your return. The cost of postage will depend on the weight and size of your return.
4. Sign and date your return: Make sure you sign and date your return in the space provided.
5. Attach any required documents: If you're attaching any documents, such as W-2s or 1099s, make sure they're securely attached to your return.
6. Use a tracking number: Consider using a tracking number, such as a certified mail receipt, to track your return and ensure it's delivered to the IRS.
