Can you mail taxes april 16

The deadline for mailing your taxes to the IRS is actually April 15th, not April 16th. However, the IRS does allow for a one-day extension, so you can mail your taxes on April 16th, but you must still pay any owed taxes by April 15th to avoid penalties and interest.

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

• If you owe taxes, you must pay them by April 15th to avoid penalties and interest. You can pay online, by phone, or by mail.
• If you're mailing your taxes, make sure to use certified mail with return receipt requested to prove that the IRS received your return.
• If you're unable to file your taxes by April 15th, you can request an automatic six-month extension by filing Form 4868 by April 15th. This will give you until October 15th to file your taxes, but you'll still need to pay any owed taxes by April 15th.
• Keep in mind that even if you're mailing your taxes, you should still file electronically if possible. Electronic filing is faster, more accurate, and more secure than mailing a paper return.

It's also important to note that the IRS has a "postmark" rule, which means that if you mail your taxes on April 16th, the postmark date will be considered the filing date, as long as it's postmarked by April 15th. However, it's still important to file as early as possible to avoid any potential delays or issues.
