Will Greenback Mail My U.S. Tax Return for Me If It Has to Be Paper-Filed?

In most cases, Greenback doesn’t mail paper-filed returns on your behalf. Instead, your accountant prepares a complete mailing packet that includes the printed return, the correct IRS mailing address for your situation, and step-by-step assembly and mailing instructions, so you can send it yourself via a tracked courier service.

Here’s how paper filing typically works at Greenback:

• Mailing packet from your accountant: The printed return, the right IRS mailing address, and clear instructions on how to assemble and mail the return
• Tracked courier recommended: USPS Certified Mail or a tracked international courier, so you have proof of mailing and delivery
• Extenuating circumstances: In rare cases where mailing yourself isn’t feasible, your accountant can discuss alternative arrangements directly

Most U.S. expat tax returns are e-filed today, so paper filing is the exception rather than the rule. If your return has to be paper-filed (certain form combinations, prior-year returns, or specific IRS e-file rejections), your accountant will explain why and walk you through the packet.
