Can I print my Federal and State returns DOUBLE SIDED to save paper? I have to submit by mail.

While it is preferred that both sides of the paper be used for substitutes and reproduced forms, resulting in the same page arrangement as that of the official form or schedule, t he IRS will accept your forms if only one side of the paper is used.

Just note that each form within the return can be double sided but you can't print different forms sharing the same page. So for instance you have a 1040 and a schedule D, the 1040 can be double sided and the D can be double sided but they can not share a page. you would have to print each required form separately to do this.

For you to save paper TT is NOT set up to print each form separately if you use 2-sided mode (don't shoot the messenger, I don't work for them). So you would have to print each form stand alone.

I print my return for saving double sided but it's only for my safekeeping. I do not suggest sending the IRS any double sided forms by mail as they use key punchers who get so much that they may miss it.

**I don't work for TT. Just trying to help. All the best.
