The IRS expects approximately 138 million Americans, including nearly 2.2 million Coloradoans, to file tax returns this year with an estimated 43% of them using the mail. Approximately 76 percent of Americans can expect a refund and 24 percent will most likely owe money according to the IRS.
The IRS says 20% wait until the last week to file or mail their return. This is because of owing money, being too busy beforehand, or simple procrastination. Below are important tax mail tips.
Tax Mail tips:
- Apply proper postage and stamps, especially with extra forms/schedules. It costs 41 cents for the first ounce; 17 cents for each additional ounce. One ounce is about four pages.
- If you use a non-IRS labeled envelope, make sure you print the proper IRS address.
- Print your return address in the upper-left-hand corner of your tax mail envelope.
- Customers who wish certification that their tax mail form is received by IRS, should mail it using Certified Mail Service/Return Receipt - available at your local post office.
- While encouraged to mail before April 15, if you do wait until late on Tax Day, be sure to mail your tax return at a postal location or collection box that offers late pickup.
- Per the IRS, make sure your return is properly signed, filled out completely, and has the appropriate W2 forms and supporting documentation.
- Customers with tax questions can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040; or www.irs.gov
