RE: [taxchat] Mailing tax returns

My concern is IRS data mining. Until I’m satisfied on that issue, only my simplest returns will be efiled.

Chuck,

 

You'll love it.  Save paper, trees, postage, filing space, acknowledgement of receipt in 24 hours or as little as a few hours by IRS thru your software company.

No doubt about it.  I’m actually going to abandon my principles and do a little efiling next tax season…simple returns and extensions only.

Chuck,

This is one area I’ve found efiling to be advantageous.  They acknowledge receipt of each 4868.

I even put each extension form in a separate envelope.  I used to put them all in the same envelope, with a list attached, return receipt requested.  One year, the IRS claimed that four (out of about 30) extensions weren’t received, even though they were included on the list.  I was able to back them off, but only after an extended letter war.  Now every document gets its own envelope.

Robert,

I think I like your idea of putting each return in it's own envelope and then mailing them all together RRR.  Thanks for the thoughts.....

I file old, multiple years, quite frequently.  I usually discusss the issues with either the agent involved, or ACS, and ask specifically, where do you want the returns mailed?

Then I have each return signed and stuffed into a separate envelope, labelled with the tax year, and stuff ALL the envelopes into one big one, addressed to where they want it.  Never had a problem.
