Mailing address for tax returns

The mailing address for tax returns in the United States depends on the state and type of return. Here are some general guidelines:

Federal Income Tax Returns:

• For paper returns:
  • Individual taxpayers: Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 1303, Charlotte, NC 28201-1303
  • Business taxpayers: Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 802551, Cincinnati, OH 45280-2551
• For electronic returns (e-file):
  • No mailing address is required, as the return is submitted electronically through a tax preparation software or the IRS website.

State Income Tax Returns:

• Each state has its own mailing address for state income tax returns. You can find the address on the state's tax authority website or on the tax return form.

Other Tax Returns:

• Employment Tax Returns (Form 941, 944, etc.): Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 802531, Cincinnati, OH 45280-2531

• Double-check the address on the tax return form or the IRS website to ensure accuracy.
• Keep a copy of your return and supporting documents for your records.

Remember to file your tax return by the deadline to avoid penalties and interest. If you need help with your tax return, consider consulting a tax professional or using tax preparation software.
