pushing the envelope?

I can't e-file since I didn't file in 2010.



Now, I have to mail all my stuff in. Can someone recommend a good place to get an evelope for this? Or should I just fold all the stuff up and shove it in a standard envelope?


You lost me. How you filed or didn't file in 2010 has no bearing on how you file for 2011. We e-file returns every day for clients who haven't filed in 2010.

Larger envelopes can be found at any office supply store, in the "home/office" aisles at most grocery stores and general merchandise stores (meaning Target and Wally), and you can buy them at the Post Office.

He can't do a _personal_ E-file (using, for example, TurboTax or H&R Block at home) because it requests the previous year's AGI to create a PIN, if the previous year's return wasn't E-filed.

As Paul noted, any stationery store will have 9 x 12 envelopes.

If you use the flimsy paper that actual printed IRS forms use, you can probably get 6 sheets in a standard envelope, if you carefully align any attached W-2s to the folds of the form, and make sure that any staples are not near the folds.

I must be dense today... maybe it was breathing Northern CA air for a few days....

Turbotax says that you enter a zero if you didn't file a 2010 return. What am I missing?
