Assembling and Mailing Income Tax Forms
(For Tax Year 2007)
How To Assemble Your Tax Forms Prior to Mailing Them
If you are filing a federal form 1040NR EZ or 1040NR with a form 8843, you should first staple the Copy B of any W-2 forms and/or 1042-S forms to the lower FRONT of the 1040NR EZ or 1040NR. If you are also required to submit any special schedules or additional forms, staple those behind the 1040 NR EZ or 1040NR. The last form behind the 1040NR EZ or 1040 NR should be form 8843.
If you owe taxes and are required to write a check, make the check payable to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In the memo or "for" line on the check, write "Income Tax 2007" and your social security number. Do not staple or tape your check to your tax forms, just enclose it with your forms in the same envelope. Of course, be sure to make a photocopy of each form before mailing!
If you are filing a NYS form IT 203 and IT 203-B, you must also complete form IT-2 which goes behind the IT 203. If you are also required to submit any special schedules or additional forms, staple those behind the IT 203. The last form behind the IT 203 should be the IT 203-B.
If you owe taxes to New York State and are required to write a check, make the check payable to New York State Income Tax. In the memo or "for" line on the check, write "Income Tax 2007" and your social security number. Staple your check to the top front section of your state tax form. And, just like the federal forms, be sure to make a photocopy of each state tax form before mailing.
Before mailing anything, MAKE COPIES FOR YOUR RECORDS!
