Is there a size limit for the documents I upload?

Can I upload multiple documents in one mailing?

Yes, you can upload multiple documents in one mailing. However, if your submission includes different forms that need to be mailed in separate envelopes (e.g., to different IRS or state offices), each set of documents must be uploaded as a distinct mailing. Our system ensures that each envelope is prepared correctly and sent to the appropriate destination.

Does MailMyTaxes.com™ confirm when my document has been successfully delivered?

Yes, MailMyTaxes.com™ provides confirmation when your documents have been successfully delivered if you select Add Tracking, Certified Mail, or Return Receipt when submitting your mailing. The confirmation will be sent to the email address you provided when you submitted your mailing.

What if the IRS/state tax office doesn't receive the tax mail?
