USPS shifts postmark policy that could impact your taxes.

The United States Postal Service quietly changed how it applies postmarks,
and that operational tweak could ripple straight into your tax bill. By shifting the postmark from the local counter to regional processing centers, the Postal Service has effectively shortened the practical window for taxpayers who rely on the mail to prove they paid on time.

This will also impact mail in voting.
