Alternative filing methods. Rather than filing a return on paper, you may be able to file
electronically using IRS e-file. Create your own personal identification number (PIN) and file
a completely paperless tax return. For more information, see Does My Return Have To Be
on Paper, later.

Change of address. If you change your address, you should notify the IRS. See Change
of Address, later, under What Happens After I File.

Write in your social security number.  You must write your social security number (SSN)
in the spaces provided on your tax return. If you file a joint return, write the SSNs in the
same order as the names.

Direct deposit of refund. Instead of getting a paper check, you may be able to have your
refund deposited directly into your account at a bank or other financial institution. See
Direct Deposit under Refunds, later.

Alternative payment methods. If you owe additional tax, you may be able to pay
electronically. See How To Pay, later.

Installment agreement. If you cannot pay the full amount due with your return, you may
ask to make monthly installment payments. See Installment Agreement, later, under Amount
You Owe.

Service in combat zone. You are allowed extra time to take care of your tax matters if you
are a member of the Armed Forces who served in a combat zone, or if you served in the
combat zone in support of the Armed Forces. See Individuals Serving in Combat Zone,
later, under When Do I Have To File.

Adoption taxpayer identification number. If a child has been placed in your home for
purposes of legal adoption and you will not be able to get a social security number for the

number (ATIN). For more information, see Social Security Number, later.

Taxpayer identification number for aliens. If you or your dependent is a nonresident or
resident alien who does not have and is not eligible to get a social security number, file
Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, with the IRS. For
more information, see Social Security Number, later.

Third party designee. You can allow the IRS to discuss your tax return with a friend, family
member, or any other person you choose by checking the “Yes” box in the Third party
designee area of your return. For more information, see Third Party Designee, later.
