Efile

Your e-file limit is FIVE federal e-files, which is an IRS limit.  You can file more than five returns but the additional ones have to be filed by mail.    So....pick whose return goes slowly through the mail instead of by e-file.

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/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
