** NOTE: The Internal Revenue Service deadline for filing Federal Income taxes will be TUESDAY, April 18, 2017. The income tax deadline was extended this year in recognition of Emancipation Day. On April 16, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act. As the holiday falls on a Sunday this year, it will be observed on Monday, April 17th. Government offices in Washington DC will be closed in honor of Emancipation Day and many public services in DC will be unavailable.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Tax Mailing tips:

  • Apply the proper postage or stamps, especially if enclosing extra forms and schedules. Using a regular size Number 2 envelope, First Class postage costs 49 cents for the first ounce.
  • For heavier envelopes, add extra stamps or postage amounting to 21 cents for each additional ounce.
  • If you are not sure about the correct postage, it is best to add additional stamps, or take your forms to the Post Office to ensure that correct postage is applied.
  • Make sure you print the proper IRS address on the front of the envelope.
  • Print your return address in the upper-left-hand corner of your tax mail envelope.
  • Customers who wish certification that their tax mail form was sent, should send it Certified Mail
  • Customers with IRS tax questions can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040; or go to
  • www.irs.gov
