What to mail in with tax return

If you are sending your return without a payment, mail your return to:

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

PO BOX 19041 

SPRINGFIELD IL 62794-9041

If you are sending a payment with your return, mail your return to:

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
PO BOX 19027 
SPRINGFIELD IL 62794-9027

If you do not prefer to e-file, you have the option to file your return using a paper form and related schedules. Most forms are available as fillable PDFs, allowing you to type in the information. Typed characters make processing go more smoothly because the forms can be read more accurately by the Department’s scanners.

When you are ready to print the form, be sure to follow the printing instructions carefully to ensure our scanners can read and process your form. Printing the form in a different format slows processing.

What to mail in with tax return

  • Send to the Correct Address
    Check the IRS website for where to mail your tax return. Write both the destination and return addresses clearly or print your mailing label and postage.
    Where to Send Paper Tax Returns
  • Use Correct Postage
    Weigh your envelope using a kitchen scale or postage scale and apply the right amount of postage. Most tax returns are several pages long and weigh more than 1 oz. Tax returns sent without enough postage will be returned. Calculate Postage
  • Meet the Postmark Deadline
    If your tax return is postmarked by the filing date deadline, the IRS considers it on time. Mail your return in a USPS® blue collection box or at a Postal location that has a pickup time before the deadline. Some Post Office™ locations offer extended hours and late postmarking for tax filers. Call a Post Office near you to find out if it will be open late on tax day.

For added peace of mind, you can buy a Certificate of Mailing at the Post Office. If your return is delayed or lost, a Certificate of Mailing is a proof of mailing receipt that proves you mailed your tax return on a certain date. (After you send your taxes, keep your receipt in a safe place. The Postal Service does not keep copies of receipts).

Certificate of Mailing Service

Also, when you use a USPS service with tracking, your tracking number will provide updates as your item travels to its destination, including the date and time of delivery or attempted delivery. You can access tracking information for non-signature items for 120 days (2 years for signature items). With the USPS Tracking Plus® service, you can buy extended tracking history for up to 10 years.

USPS Tracking Plus

These mailing services apply a postmark to your return. If your return is postmarked by the IRS deadline date, it is considered on time. With Click-N-Ship® service, you can pay for postage online and print a shipping label from your own computer. Generating a Click-N-Ship label with postage creates an electronic record for the label on that specific date, so it is important that you send your package on the shipping date you used to create the label.
