When filing federal tax returns or other IRS-related forms, the mailing address you use depends on your state of residence and the specific form being filed. For Form 1040 and other federal tax returns, the IRS requires you to mail your return to a service center based on your state of residence. The correct mailing address can be found on the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-addresses-for-taxpayers-and-tax-professionals-filing-form-1040.
