PLEASE BE ADVISED of the USPS POSTMARK RULE CHANGE and how it could affect the timely receipt of you tax payments.

According to the new rule, postmarks generally reflect the date that a mail piece is first processed by USPS automated sorting equipment, which could be one or more days after mailing.

For example, even if you drop your payment in a USPS mailbox on the last day to make a payment without interest, it will be considered late because the postmark will be applied one or more days later.   

To avoid this delay in USPS postmarking, you are encouraged to go to the Post Office and request a hand canceled postmark at the counter.
