USPS Postmark Changes and Minnesota Tax Returns [+]

Recent updates in how the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) applies postmarks could affect Minnesota tax returns or payments sent by mail.

Postmarks show the date USPS first processes your mail, which may be later than when you dropped it at a post office or put it in your mailbox. This could affect tax returns or payments that must be mailed by a deadline.

If You Mail a Tax Return or Payment

If you're mailing a tax return or payment, we recommend you:

Mail it several business days before the deadline.
Bring it to a USPS retail counter and ask for a manual postmark.

If You File or Pay Electronically

This postmark change does not affect electronic filing or payments. You can learn more about electronic options at:

For details on the USPS change, see the postmark rule published in the Federal Register (90 Fed. Reg. 52883).
