What do I attach when I mail in my taxes? I know I attach W2's and 1099's, but do I also submit donation receipts, investments, student loan interest receipts... ??

Normally, you only need to attach all Form(s)W-2 and Forms W-2G and 1099-R if tax was withheld from those payments. If no taxes were withheld, those tax forms or statements are not needed with the tax return. Keep them for your records. 

If there are additional documents needed, the first page in your printout package will be the File by Mail Instructions and will provide the mailing address and what forms, if any, you need to include.

Please read the following instructions on how to file your tax return by conventional mail.

1. Open your return in TurboTax.
2. Select the File tab and proceed to the E-file Your Federal Return for FREE screen.
