- If you use a non-IRS labeled envelope, make sure you print the proper IRS address.
- Customers who wish certification their tax mail form is received by IRS, should mail it using Certified Mail Service/Return Receipt — available at your local Post Office or online at usps.com. If purchased online, mail will have to be deposited by the times above to receive the proper postmark on April 15..
