Please be aware of a recent change in the USPS Post marking practices effective late 2025. The postmark now reflects the date an envelope is first processed by an automated sorting machine, rather than the date it was deposited at a USPS facility or mailbox.
Consequently, a postmark may be dated several days after  the mail was initially sent.
To ensure your tax payments are recognized as timely, please consider mailing your payments several days before the deadline, or request a manual postmark at your local post office.
