I will buy tax software and file my federal returns electronically. I have heard that you still have forms to mail to the IRS even if you file electronically.
Can someone tell me if you still need to mail in forms to the IRS if you file electronically? Also, if you buy the software like TurboTax, does it contain everything you might possible need to file your federal returns?
Thanks,

yes, you may still need to fill out some forms and send them to the irs. your tax software should include these and inform you if you need to fillt hem out. it won't be too much, possibly only the signature form.
disclaimer: i am not a tax expert. i have filed electronically and this is my experience.

Do not mail in your returns when you file electronically. Turbo Tax includes everything you need, but also cost. You can go to the IRS website and file for free. www.irs.gov is the address to use

February 7,2011. I filed an injured spouse form along with our 2010 tax return on Jan 19th. Our return was excepted by the irs on Jan 20th. I called the IRS to check the status of our return on Feb 6, 2011 and I was told by the IRS agent that my Injured Spouse form was sent over to the department that handles that form and it is begin processed as of Jan 24, 2011 but the processing time could be 11 weeks once they receive the form. 11 weeks from Jan 24, 2011 would be April 12, 2011. I'm hoping that it doesn't take that long to process. I will keep you updated on my progress.

The first year you file electronically, you either need to fill out the signature page OR put in your adjusted gross income from last year to qualify as your electronic signature. To use the second option, you have to be in the same status as the year before either single or married (to the same person.) This is what I remember anyway.

I used it last year and the year before and I only had to mail in the one signature form. It was just a paper saying I am who I am, but all the actual filing in done by the Turbo Tax program itself. Even eFiling which you can also do by going to

If this is your first year filing electronically then yes, you will have to mail something. On other years you probably won't have to mail anything but it does depend on the situation. I never had to mail anything after the first year I e-filed.

You'll have to mail in a page with your signature on it-your software will walk you through it. But, as long as you have your electronic filing done, you don't have to have your signature page postmarked on tax day.
TurboTax should have everything you need included in it.
