Assembling and Mailing Your Tax Return
Each form that you need to attach to your Form 1040 or 1040A has an "attachment sequence number" printed in its upper right-hand corner. When assembling your tax return, place the forms in order of their sequence, with Form 1040 (or 1040A) on top. If you have any supporting statements or schedules, attach them all at the end, in the same order as the forms or schedules they refer to.
Be sure to write your name and Social Security number on the top of each tax form, just in case they are separated. And staple a copy of any W-2 Forms you received to the front of the return.

Work Smart
Whenever you send a tax form or, for that matter, any other correspondence to the IRS, we recommend that you use certified or registered mail so that you get a return receipt. If you ever need proof that you mailed your documents on time, and that the IRS received them, you'll have it.
If you're filing close to the deadline, you can also use next-day or second-day service from Airborne Express, DHL Worldwide Express, Federal Express, or United Parcel Service. Any of these services can tell you how to get written proof of the mailing date.
