Who do i mail my tax return to
In the United States, you can file your tax return electronically or by mail. If you choose to mail your tax return, you'll need to send it to the correct address for your state and type of return. Here are the general guidelines:
Federal Tax Return:
- If you're filing a paper return, you can mail it to:
- Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
- P.O. Box 1300
- Charlotte, NC 28201-1300
- If you're filing a paper return for a specific state or territory, you can find the address on the IRS website or on the state's tax authority website.
State Tax Return:
- Check with your state's tax authority for the correct mailing address. You can find this information on their website or by contacting them directly.
- Some states may have different addresses for different types of returns, such as individual, business, or partnership returns.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure to use the correct postage and ensure your return is postmarked by the filing deadline to avoid penalties and interest.
- If you're filing a joint return, you can use the same address for both spouses.
- If you're filing a return for a trust, estate, or partnership, you may need to use a different address.
Electronic Filing:
- If you choose to file your tax return electronically, you can do so through the IRS Free File program or by using tax preparation software like TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct.
- Electronic filing is generally faster and more secure than mailing a paper return.
Remember to double-check the addresses and deadlines to ensure your tax return is processed correctly and on time.
