How to File IRS Tax Form

IRS forms can be submitted electronically, by mail, by fax, or through a tax professional, depending on the document.

Electronic Filing

IRS Free File Guided Tax Preparation is available for free to taxpayers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) under $79,000.

Free File Fillable Forms are accessible to all taxpayers but require users to understand and complete the forms themselves.

Paid Software from providers like TurboTax, H&R Block, and TaxAct helps guide users through tax forms and file them electronically. Costs range from free to over $200.

Mail Filing

IRS tax forms can be mailed. Taxpayers should obtain, complete, and send the forms to the IRS address specified on the form. Addresses may vary based on whether a payment is included. Mail processing can take weeks, so the IRS recommends electronic filing for faster processing.
