To help ensure a successful tax season for our customers we offer the following tax mailing tips:
- The Postal Service reminds customers to plan ahead and mail early. If you wait until April 15 to mail your tax returns, be sure to check the latest collection times posted on collection boxes.
- Ensure proper postage is affixed on your tax returns. The first ounce (about three sheets of paper) on a letter-sized envelope is 49 cents. The first ounce on a larger flat-sized envelope (bigger than 6 1/8 inches x 11 1/2 inches) is 98 cents. Additional ounces are 21 cents each for both size mail pieces.
