Filing a paper return has some benefits over other methods of filing:
It’s familiar.
It’s comprehensive. You receive a booklet that includes the official IRS instructions.
It’s easy to review. You can simply look at your return and check it for errors, or easily find income or deduction amounts on a prior-year return.
Supplying copies is a snap. You can easily make copies of your return to give to financial institutions when applying for a loan or a home mortgage.
It’s a good idea to print a copy of your return for your records regardless of which method you use to file. For more information, see Printing Forms from the File Menu.
To file a paper return, just click the File tab. Then, choose Filing on Paper. The H&R Block software will guide you through the process.
