Can I include the payment voucher and the check  in the same envelope we are mailing the 1040

to IRS?

or should they be sent in different envelopes?

where do we send the 1040 with no payment?

Include everything together in the same envelope.

Returns with payment included go to a mail drop address, which varies depending on the state in the taxpayer's address.  PTO should have that address printed on the client letter automatically unless you have entered an override for the service center.

Given all the news about the huge backlog the IRS has with paper return, any particular reason why your client would want to file it on paper?  Similarly, making an online payment may be preferable to sending a paper check.

And be sure you include that form explaining WHY it's a paper return - assuming you do prepare 10 or more/more than 10 returns.  Form 8???.

Please, there is no reason to ask the same question more than once. Thanks.
