Millions of American wait until the last minute to file their tax returns. This year will be no different. Filers have until 12 Midnight on Monday, April 15, 2013 to drop off their completed returns.
We offer the following advice to tax filers:
- Use First-Class postage
- Use pre-addressed labels where possible
- Write clearly
- Take special care to ensure all handwritten envelopes are legible and include a return address
- Affix sufficient postage. One ounce is 46 cents; every additional ounce up to 13 ounces costs an additional 20 cents per ounce
- Double check postage. Weigh any return that feels heavier than one ounce. Tax agencies DO NOT accept postage due mail
- Avoid the mad rush at the Post Office, drop your returns in a blue collection box- make certain the posted pick up time has not passed to ensure returns have an April 15 postmark
- For customers who send original receipts to tax agencies, registered mail is a good choice
- Make certain bulky envelopes are securely sealed
