The IRS used to have a rule that said they did not have to accept proof you had mailed, and they had received, a tax return, unless the tax payer sent it registered mail. Has that changed?

wow. i used to use registered mail exclusively, but in the last 2-3 years i got tired of hearing the post office clerks implore me to use certified instead of registered (i presume, because certified costs the usps less than registered). up until this year, i have not had a problem with certified, and i have been presuming safety in numbers on the presumption that the post office clerks have been busy convincing everyone else not to use registered mail also. anyway, i wonder if what you write is true and if so, should i re-send my filing (yikes)...
