The United States Postal Service has a few tips for taxpayers who will be mailing their taxes.
The Post Office is asking that taxpayers mail early on tax day. All mail must be deposited before the last collection time at the post office or collection box on April 18th to receive an April 18 postmark. Customers who mail their returns on the 18th should check with their local post office or read the posted times on the collection box to make sure that their tax returns are collected and postmarked before the deadline. The post office is also asking that taxpayers make sure they use the appropriate postage because tax agencies will not pay postage due and it could cause taxpayers to miss the deadline.
