Ready to file your income tax return with IRS? Here's what you need to know.
If you’re planning on filing your federal income tax return in the next few days, you’re not alone: the Internal Revenue Service says some 50 million taxpayers have yet to file . No matter how close to the wire you get, as long as your return is postmarked by April 15, the IRS considers your federal income tax return filed on time.
So if you mail your tax return via first class mail and it gets there, awesome. You’re good. But if it doesn’t? You have zero proof. The only real proof through the mail is certified or registered mail. So keep that in mind when you’re standing in line at the post office. It’s only a couple of extra dollars to send mail certified or registered and doing so is proof that you mailed the return when you said that you did.The IRS also requires that you properly address your tax form.
