How many stamps to mail taxes

The number of stamps needed to mail taxes depends on the weight and size of the envelope, as well as the destination. Here are some general guidelines:

• For a standard envelope weighing up to 1 ounce, you'll need:
  • 1 first-class stamp (currently $0.55) for domestic mail (within the United States)
  • 1 international reply coupon (IRC) for international mail (outside the United States)
• For an envelope weighing over 1 ounce, you'll need additional postage. The cost is calculated based on the weight of the envelope, with each additional ounce costing $0.15.
• For a large or oversized envelope, you may need to use a larger stamp or a special rate stamp.

For mailing taxes, you'll typically need to use a certified mail receipt, which requires a signature upon delivery. This adds an extra fee to the postage cost.

Here are some estimated postage costs for mailing taxes:

• IRS Form 1040 (individual tax return): 1-2 ounces, $0.55-$1.10
• IRS Form 1040-ES (estimated tax payment): 1-2 ounces, $0.55-$1.10
• IRS Form 941 (employer's quarterly tax return): 1-2 ounces, $0.55-$1.10
• Certified mail receipt (required for tax returns): $3.90-$4.90

Keep in mind that these are just estimates, and the actual postage cost may vary depending on the specific form, weight, and destination. It's always a good idea to check with the USPS website or consult with a postal worker for the most up-to-date information.
