Tax Trivia: Timely Filing

Kelly Phillips ErbJanuary 9, 2011

We have a winner! See the correct answer in the comments.

Our next tax trivia question for the giveaway is:

To be considered timely filed, your paper tax return must be postmarked by the due date or acknowledged by a private delivery service considered acceptable by the IRS. The IRS has designated three such private delivery services. Name all three.

The first correct answer wins free free CompleteTax online tax prep software.

Remember that you have to comment on the actual post, not on email, Twitter or Facebook, in order to win (though feel free to comment that way for fun). You can read the rules for the giveaway and more about the prizes here.

What’s your guess?

    And, not to hijack the contest, but if you go with USPS, make sure to send it certified or registered mail, and have the postal worker postmark stamp your receipt (in case you need to prove timely filing later).

    Interesting – with DHL, you can only use their same-day service, while FedEx’s and UPS’s next-day and two-day services are allowed. Any information or speculation as to why DHL’s next-day service isn’t approved?
