Additional Tips:

• Make sure to use the correct mailing address for your state and type of return (e.g., individual, business, etc.).
• Use a certified mail receipt to track your return and ensure it's received by the tax authority.
• Keep a copy of your return and supporting documents for your records.
• If you're filing a joint return, use the address of the primary taxpayer (the one listed first on the return).
