The Postal Service encourages tax mailers to mail before April 15. It is still one of the busiest mailing days of the year. Those wanting to avoid the crowds are encouraged to mail their income tax returns early in the day. Postal customers are encouraged to check the collection times posted on each box to ensure pick up on April 15. Below are important tax mail tips.

Tax Mail Tips:

  • Apply proper postage and stamps, especially with extra forms/schedules. It costs 42 cents for the first ounce; 17 cents for each additional ounce. One ounce is about four pages. The IRS and State Revenue Offices will not pay for Postage Due returns. If you use a larger envelope, First Class postage is 83 cents for the first ounce, 17 cents for each additional ounce.
  • 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 with tax questions can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040; or www.irs.gov
