Can i mail my tax payment on april 15

In the United States, the deadline to file your federal income tax return and pay any taxes owed is typically April 15th of each year. However, the IRS does allow for some flexibility when it comes to mailing your tax payment.

According to the IRS, if you owe taxes and are mailing a payment, you can use the following deadlines:

• If you file your tax return on or before April 15th, you can mail your payment on or before April 16th.
• If you file your tax return after April 15th, you can mail your payment within 30 days of the filing date.

It's important to note that the IRS considers a payment to be "timely" if it is postmarked by the deadline, not if it is actually received by the IRS. So, even if you mail your payment on April 15th, it's still considered timely as long as it is postmarked by that date.

To ensure that your payment is processed correctly, make sure to:

• Use a certified mail receipt with return receipt requested to track your payment.
• Include your name, address, and Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on the payment.
• Make your check or money order payable to the "United States Treasury."
• Write your Social Security number or ITIN, name, and address on the payment.

Keep in mind that if you owe taxes and are unable to pay the full amount by the deadline, you may be able to set up a payment plan with the IRS. You can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to discuss your options.
