Mailing in your taxes can be stressful. Take a deep breath, and make sure to visit Sip and Ship for that final step to filing your return . Sip and Ship recommends mailing them certified-with-return-receipt. Which means you have a tracking number and then a postcard back confirming the IRS has received them. Sip and Ship can email these tracking details directly to you and our shipping system files this information under your name so that it can be recalled, referenced and/or used again in the future. Pretty slick right?

Where else can you meet the deadline of April 15th, enjoy a cup of Joe and pick up a birthday card ? This place!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
