If your return is postmarked by the IRS deadline date, it is considered on time. With <a style="display:inline;font-family: inherit;" href="/ship/online-shipping.htm">Click-N-Ship<sup>®</sup></a> service, you can pay for postage online and print a shipping label from your own computer. Generating a Click-N-Ship label with postage creates an electronic record for the label on that specific date, so it is important that you send your package on the shipping date you used to create the label. Your online Click-N-Ship account will save your shipping history for six months. </p> <p><a href="https://cnsb.usps.com/">Print a Shipping Label</a></p> <ul> <li><a class="button--link" href="/ship/priority-mail-express.htm">Priority Mail Express<sup>®</sup></a></li> <ul> <li>1−2 business day delivery</li> <li>USPS Tracking<sup>®</sup> included</li> <li>Eligible for Click-N-Ship</li> </ul> <li><a class="button--link" href="/ship/priority-mail.htm">Priority Mail<sup>®</sup></a></li> <ul> <li>1−3 business day delivery</li> <li>USPS Tracking included</li> <li>Eligible for Click-N-Ship</li> <li>Eligible for Certificate of Mailing</li> </ul> <li><a class="button--link" href="/ship/first-class-mail.htm">First−Class Mail<sup>®</sup></a></li> <ul> <li>1−5 business day delivery</li> <li>Extra services available</li> <li>Eligible for Certificate of Mailing</li> </ul> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="jumbotron"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-2 col-xs-12"> <div class="center col-1-short"> <h2>IRS Tips & Help</h2> <p>The Postal Service recommends that you confirm all tax information with a tax professional or the IRS.</p> <a href="http://www.irs.gov/" target="_blank" class="button--link">Visit the IRS Website</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script src="/assets/script/globals/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/assets/script/globals/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="/assets/script/globals/bootstrap.js"></script> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ls-row-clr"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ls-row-clr"></div> </div> </div> <div class="ls-row" id="p2-footer"> <div class="ls-fxr" id="ls-gen11-ls-fxr"> <div class="ls-area" id="ls-row-5-area-1"> <div class="ls-area-body" id="ls-gen12-ls-area-body"> <div class="ls-cmp-wrap ls-1st" id="w1547960992648"> <div class="iw_component" id="1547960992648">  <div id="global-footer--wrap" class="global-footer--wrap"> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/global-elements/footer/css/main-sb.css"> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/global-elements/footer/css/footer-sb.css">   <style> .page--left-nav .content { margin-left: 0;
