Dear TaxMama:

This is my second time asking a question. You responded so quickly the first time I figured I would try again.

Do quarterly estimated tax payments need to be postmarked by the due date or received by the IRS by the due date, June 15 for example?

Hi Jeremy,

That must be because your questions are easy for me to answer.

Like this one.

All you need to do is postmark them by the due date.

If there's a lot of money at stake, I'd send it certified, just to prove the date of mailing. You don't need a return receipt. Or send it via UPS or FedEx - they give you a dated receipt.

It's good to see that you're making the estimated payment.

Best wishes,
Eva Rosenberg
Your TaxMama
