Taxes

[deepwater]

I mailed my Oct 15 IRS tax return a few weeks ago and it was returned for insufficient postage of .34 cent. I only had one stamp on it so I guess it was to heavy.

I guess I did not pay government (USPS) enough to collect my money for the IRS. So now my taxes are late :( Why do we even have to put a stamp on it when we are paying the IRS..

better question is why do we have to pay for the electronic submittal? Isn't that supposed to save a whole bunch of money? :bang:

It easier to put an extra stamp on it, send it via on line or better yet make sure you send it certified with a tracking # through the USPS so they can't say they didn't receive it, then you'll have proof.
My personal suggestion is make a copy of the envelope for your own file, send the original envelope in with the new one saying you did send this in on time but returned due to lack of postage with an apolitical letter or just add another stamp and send it back in crossing off the postage due on the envelope.
Just trying to keep you out of trouble. Hope this helped.:goodluck:

I received my log-in details for EFTPS so I can save a stamp! Woo hoo! Oh, wait...we're talking about taxes and the evil empire known as the IRS. Nevermind.

I spent the extra $5 and sent mine certified return-receipt this year. Good thing, I got a notice a couple of months later telling me it was late. I returned a copy of the receipt with a letter of denial. While it took them a couple of more months to acknowledge it, they did admit it was a mistake and dropped it.

One thing to keep in mind when dealing with the IRS:

"If it ain't on paper, it didn't happen."

Always registered mail, with return reciept. As said above the documentation and tracking info if worth every penny.

As for Greg's "ask gueuze", I'll say that state workers pay thruway tolls just like everyone else, and very few places send postage paid envelopes anymore. And you complain that the post office is losing money already....
