Important Tax Day Update

After speaking with the USPS, Congressman Crawford highly recommends taking the following steps to ensure that your taxes are processed on time:

USPS Blue Mailbox—If you are placing your tax return into a USPS blue mailbox, you must do so by COB April 14th. Failure to do so could result in your return being processed late.

Mailing on April 15th—If you are mailing your taxes on April 15th, go in person to your local post office and ask for your envelope to be hand-stamped with the current date.

As an extra precaution, to track your tax return through the mail, you can send your tax return by certified mail, which comes with a return receipt. Certified mail does come at an additional cost.
