I'm fairly new to all of this so please bear with me. The deadline for having the renewal file is March 15th. Does that mean that the IRS has to receive it by March 15th or is it kind of like the date for filing taxes and just be post marked by March 15th? I would appreciate any response to my question. I would just like to know if I would be safe if it happens that some of my exemptions get post marked w/the 15th?

I have always had them "postmarked" by the 15th.

Thank you 2old2care. I like the screen name!

You have had them "postmarked" by the 15th and everything has turned out ok?

35 Years in Banking I earned it! Hve a good weekend.

Wow! 35 yrs! You have earned everything! You have a nice weekend too!

An FDIC examiner wrote us up because it was not received by the IRS by March 15th. We now do the filing electronically. I recommend you have it mailed prior to March 15th. The Exemption form states the biennial renewal must be filed by March 15th. According to the examiner that means in the office of the Detroit Computing Center on March 15th.

I guess it's the luck of the draw with examiners.

This has been an issue of debate. It's funny that the SAME IRS says that my taxes must be "filed" by April 15th and as long as the postmark is 4/15, I'm OK. Yet some examiners argue that filed means "received". I'd say "show me" but choose your battles.
