When filing electronically, what forms do I mail to the IRS?
The IRS and many states are offering truly paperless filing. If you choose to use this method of filing, you will not be required to mail any forms. You should still print a copy of your tax return for future reference.
See: Signing Your Electronic Return in the Filing Options step of the Steps to File page.
If you do not choose to take advantage of federal paperless filing, you will be required to print and mail your return. If your state does not offer paperless filing, you will be required to mail your state's electronic filing signature form. Filing instructions specific to your state will be included with your printed return.
Note: The IRS no longer requires you to mail your Forms W-2, W-2G, or 1099-R when filing electronically.
