> 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)...
Here’s a question: I returned $30k to my IRA within 60 days of taking it out. H & R Block counted the $30k as income and the folks at Fidelity said the IRS would take it into account and not count it as income. The state(ca) folks did not do that. Now I have to find that other form that counts the $30k as a deposit. It doesn’t look like a tax form. Forgot the # of it.
What should I do? Thanks.
