Good day.

I have been informed that several USVI clients/residents that sent the 1040SS forms to the Charlotte NC IRS PO Box, prior to the filing deadline, that the envelopes have never been shown as delivered by USPS Priority Mail when you input the tracking number. 

As a matter of fact, they have a message on the site that the final delivery notice on x date and the items will be returned. They are sitting there well past this x final delivery date too.

I always tell clients to keep the USPS Priority mail receipt and to check weekly and print off the delivery confirm for their files too. 

This has gone on way too long.

Any suggestions on what to do here?

Of course, we want to avoid penalties and late filings, but what more can we do if it was mailed on time using USPS priority mail, and the envelopes have been sitting in an IRS mailbox for two months or more uncollected by the agency? Some of these SS tax related payments are in excess of $10k.

Thank you!
