As the last day to pay approaches, the office is extremely busy. If you mail in a payment U.S. postmarked on OR prior to February 1, 2018, it is considered on time even if we don’t process it until after that date.
If your check is returned for any reason your original post mark doesn’t apply. A replacement check must be postmarked by February 1, 2018 to be considered on time.
