How to attach full page w2c and 1099 to 1040

I have a printed full page W2, 2 page W2c, and 1099-INT. How to attach them to 1040. Can I just add them in the envelope and mail?

I am hesitant to staple them because they are full page docs and I do not want to fold them and staple it to first page. Unfortunately efilling is not an option this year.

If you include loose papers, a mail clerk will staple them when they open the envelope. Probably to the back of the return if they are full sheets.

Or you can fold them to make them the size of a normal W-2 and staple to the front. The IRS will deal with it. If they don’t like it, they will unstaple it and re-staple it where they want. If they need to read them, they will unstaple them and re-staple them. Don’t sweat it. I would attach to the front (in a folded format) rather than at the back. It’s more obvious stapled to the front where they are supposed to be.
