How do you mail your US taxes?

I've always just used regular Royal Mail airmail. Now I'm wondering if I should use International Signed For or Fedex to get the forms to the States just for a little added assurance. What method do you use?

I put mine in a normal envelope and used regular mail to Austin Texas in  Feb and I checked where is my refund and it is being deposited tomorrow so obviously they got it ;-)

That's what I have done as well.  Never had any problems.

Thanks, regular mail sounds like a good plan to maintain. I'd read someone saying they used fedex for added peace of mind, and it unsettled my mind a tad, lol.

There are some quite tedious legal aruments that a UK Post Office postmark is not adequate proof of posting by the deadline whereas an IRS approved service provided by FedEx, UPS etc would count.  No-one I know has ever been fined on these grounds, but do at least get proof of posting (free) from the Post Office!

Fedex for fbars because of all the confidential information on them.

Yea, I was thinking that. There's confidential info on the tax forms, too, but the bank account info seems especially touchy. Any special way you mail it with fedex? I mean, a particular service or thing to ask for? I never use fedex, not really up on the options.

yeah I mailed Fbar the same way...UK people would have a hell of a time trying to become me and US people try it...I dont live there but I can look up anything at anytime online ;-)
