Where do I send my federal tax return?

Where you send your federal tax return depends on your filing status and whether you're including a payment. Generally, if you're filing a paper return without payment, you can mail it to the address listed in the instructions for your tax form, which varies by state. If you're sending a payment, the address may differ, so it's best to check the IRS website or your tax form instructions for the correct mailing address. Additionally, if you're filing electronically, you won't need to mail a paper return at all.
