Do I need to send in my Federal taxes with my state taxes or do I send them in separately? Can I fold my return in a standard envelope? How many stamps do I need?

Federal and state returns go to completely separate addresses. Mailing instructions should print out with your return to tell you where to send your returns. Yes, you can fold your return to put it in an envelope.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.

Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

The address on where to mail each tax return is on the Filing Instructions page when you printed the 2019 tax return.

What address do I send my state taxes to and can I mail it in standard white envelope with a stamp.

The Filing Instructions page will tell you which state forms to include along with the address on where to mail the state tax return. You can mail it in a standard white envelope with a stamp, however it is recommended to send it certified mail, so that you know when it is received.

Please see the directions below, if you need to print the filing instructions:

You need to download your tax return using Print Center and choose the option for all worksheets.

Sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page
Scroll down and click on Add a state.
This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.
Then click on Print Center.
Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets or choose to print just your filing sheet.

Turbotax is not including my 1040 Federal Tax Form, nor the three substitute 1099-R forms I completed for my Federal tax return and the accompanying 4852 forms. Why not?

It is a good idea to first clear your cache and cookies - which means removing all of the temporary programs that can gum up your web browser. If that doesn't work, try using a different web browser.

Here is a link on how to clear your cache and cookies.

If that doesn't work I would recommend phoning TurboTax to ask for help.

If you are completing a 2020 tax return then you have to be using the TurboTax desktop 2020 edition installed on your personal computer.

Click on Forms in the upper right if using Windows or in the upper left if using a Mac. When in forms mode the Filing Instructions page will be listed on the left of the page (Filing Inst). Click on that to open the page.
