Tax Forms

Can I mail my information return in a regular envelope?

Quickly and efficiently file your taxes by ensuring you have everything you need at tax time to help the process go smoothly. While you can mail your return in a regular envelope, some specialty options can help make mailing simpler and more secure. And if you’re sending out certain tax forms, such as W-2 forms and 1099 tax forms, specialty envelopes can make the process much more efficient. Double-window envelopes let you easily display payer and recipient details, and security tints help keep your information private. You can purchase 1099 envelopes, W-2 envelopes and other types of tax return envelopes separately or as part of a tax-form kit.

Does one envelope fit all tax forms?

Mailing out tax forms should be just as convenient as filling them out with your tax software. Many tax envelopes are compatible with the most up-to-date versions of the tax forms you may need. Different kinds of tax forms (W2 forms, 1099 tax forms, etc.) fit different kinds of tax envelopes, so they can be inserted without any issues and conform to current IRS requirements. Make sure to read the envelope description in its entirety to ensure they match up with your tax forms.
