Can i mail to irs certified mail

Yes, you can mail important documents to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using certified mail. In fact, the IRS recommends using certified mail to send sensitive documents, such as tax returns, amended returns, and other important correspondence.

Here's how to use certified mail to send documents to the IRS:

1. Go to your local post office and purchase a certified mail label. You can also use the USPS website to print a certified mail label.
2. Attach the certified mail label to your envelope or package.
3. Fill out the recipient information, including the IRS address:
   • Internal Revenue Service
   • 1111 Constitution Ave NW
   • Washington, DC 20224-0002
4. Fill out the return receipt request (RR) form (PS Form 3800) to request a return receipt. This will allow you to track the delivery of your document and receive proof of delivery.
5. Mail your document using certified mail.

The benefits of using certified mail to send documents to the IRS include:

• Proof of delivery: You'll receive a return receipt with the signature of the person who accepted the document.
• Tracking: You can track the delivery of your document using the USPS tracking number.
• Security: Certified mail is more secure than regular mail, as it requires a signature upon delivery.
• Proof of mailing: You'll receive a certified mail receipt with the date and time of mailing, which can be useful in case of a dispute.

Note that the IRS does not accept certified mail for all types of correspondence. For example, you cannot use certified mail to send payments or to request a payment plan. However, certified mail is a good option for sending sensitive documents, such as tax returns or amended returns.
