How To Assemble Your Tax Forms Prior to Mailing Them
If you are filing a federal form 1040NR EZ or 1040NR with a form 8843, you should first staple the Copy B of any W-2 forms and/or 1042-S forms to the lower FRONT of the 1040NR EZ or 1040NR. If you are also required to submit any special schedules or additional forms, staple those behind the 1040 NR EZ or 1040NR. The last form behind the 1040NR EZ or 1040 NR should be form 8843.
If you owe taxes and are required to write a check, make the check payable to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In the memo or "for" line on the check, write "Income Tax 2010" and your social security number. Do not staple or tape your check to your tax forms, just enclose it with your forms in the same envelope. Of course, be sure to make a photocopy of each form before mailing!
If you are filing a California State Income Tax form (Form 540 or 540A for residents or Form 540NR for non-residents), you should first staple the Copy 2 of any W-2 forms and/or 1042-S forms to the lower FRONT of the Form 540, 540A or Form 540NR. If you are also required to submit any special schedules or additional forms, staple those behind the Form 540, 540A or 540NR.
If you owe taxes to the State of California and are required to write a check, make the check payable to "Franchise Tax Board." In the memo or "for" line on the check, write "Income Tax 2010" and your social security number. Staple your check to the top front section of your state tax form. And, just like the federal forms, be sure to make a photocopy of each state tax form before mailing.
