Can i mail my taxes on april 17
The deadline for filing individual tax returns in the United States is typically April 15th of each year. However, if April 15th falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the deadline is typically moved to the next business day.
In 2023, April 15th falls on a Saturday, so the deadline for filing individual tax returns is Monday, April 17th.
Yes, you can mail your taxes on April 17th, but make sure to use a first-class mail with a postmark of April 17th or earlier to ensure timely delivery. The IRS considers a postmark to be the date the mail is stamped by the post office, not the date you drop it off.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when mailing your taxes:
- Use a first-class mail with a postmark of April 17th or earlier.
- Make sure to sign and date your tax return.
- Include all required documents, such as W-2s and 1099s.
- Use a secure and trackable mail service, such as certified mail or priority mail, to ensure your return is delivered to the IRS.
- Keep a copy of your tax return and supporting documents for your records.
It's also important to note that the IRS recommends e-filing your taxes instead of mailing them. E-filing is faster, more secure, and can help reduce errors. If you do choose to e-file, make sure to do so by the deadline of April 17th to avoid any late filing penalties.
