Tax filers should follow the following tips:
- If filing on April 15, mail early in the day at any Post Office. Be sure to verify Post Office hours of operation.
- If depositing returns in a collection box on April 15, double-check the pick-up schedule on the collection box.
- To ensure getting the April 15 postmark, deposit returns before the last scheduled pick-up time.
- Affix the correct postage. Some returns include many forms and require additional postage. IRS does not pay postage due and will return items to sender.
- One ounce is 46 cents. The second ounce is an additional 20 cents.
- When possible, use the envelope provided by the IRS and be sure to include a return address. If the envelope provided by the IRS is unavailable, be sure to verify the IRS address where returns should be mailed.
