Where Do I Mail My State Return?
Filing your tax return electronically (e-file) is faster, safer, and more accurate than mailing your tax return. However, there still may be times when your state tax authority will require you to paper file your tax return. For those who need to file by mail, just know that it can take several months for your state to process your tax return. That being said, let’s address the question at hand.
Wondering how to file your state taxes by mail? Generally, the mailing address will be listed on your state’s individual income tax return or in the instructions. Some states have different mailing addresses for returns claiming a refund, making a payment and no refund/no tax due. Be sure to choose the best one for your situation.
How to prepare your tax return for mailing
Mistakes can lead to processing delays and a longer wait for your tax refund. Before sealing the envelope, take a moment to make sure you:
- Sign your return.
- Verify that your name, address, and social security number are correct.
- Include a copy of any forms, schedules and supporting documents.
- Include a copy of all income statements (I.e., W-2, 1099).
- Enclose your check or money order and payment voucher if you owe taxes.
