Ok so I have two sheets of drywall that meet up to a seam and the two sheets are uneven.....how would I go about taping the seam? I just want to be certain before I go and start it and it not end up turning out good. Please and thank you in advance.

How uneven and why are they uneven.

At the max they are about an 1/8 off in some places and I’m not sure why they are off I didn’t hang it so I’m unsure about that but most of it is about about a putty knife blade thick in difference on the seams

Often it is because you have 2 studs or joists side by side and the trick is to always join on the proud one.

I would just carry on and put the tape on it but i guess you could even it up will filler first.

IF it's too uneven to tape - mud the low side first, then tape when dry. Generally any bad joint can be made to disappear if you feather it out far enough.

Just use mud, tape and some water, like we always do on seams.
