Can i mail my tax payment on april 18
Yes, you can mail your tax payment on April 18, but it's important to note that the IRS recommends using a tracking method to ensure your payment is received on time.
The IRS considers a payment to be "timely" if it is postmarked by the due date, which is April 18th. However, it's possible that your payment may not be processed until after the due date, even if it's postmarked on time.
To ensure that your payment is processed as quickly as possible, you can use a tracking method such as:
- Certified Mail: This method provides proof of mailing and delivery, and it's tracked by the USPS.
- Priority Mail: This method is faster than regular mail and provides tracking information.
- Express Mail: This method is the fastest and provides tracking information and proof of delivery.
You can also use a private delivery service, such as UPS or FedEx, to send your payment. Make sure to keep a record of the tracking number and the date you mailed the payment.
It's also important to note that if you're making a payment online or by phone, you can do so until 11:59 PM ET on April 18th. You can use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to make an online payment, or you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to make a payment by phone.
Remember to keep a record of your payment, including the date you mailed it, the amount you paid, and the tracking number (if applicable). This will help you prove that you made the payment on time if you're audited or have any issues with your tax return.
