I am required to furnish IRS with Form 8453 and 1099-b via regular mail; it can't be e-filed.
I would like to use UPS (or even FedEx) to send this. I found some posts online that this is allowed.
The address that is given to send this to is
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX [social security number removed]
Can someone confirm if UPS/Fedex are allowed to deliver mail to the following address and I can use these to submit Form8453?
thank you in advance.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Since you want to send the form and 1099-B, you can use Priority Mail with USPS as the IRS website does not state that private carriers can deliver anything other than returns extensions and payments.
Go to this IRS website for the address to mail a Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-forms-beginning-with-the-number-8

my question was about using UPS/Fedex to send the file to the correct address. I already know where to send it to but can I use UPS to do that? or should it be necessarily USPS?
You can send your form by any trackable method. This would include USPS, UPS and FedEx.
Pattif12, thanks, but the reason I'm worried is this statement on
Private Delivery Services should not deliver returns to IRS offices other than those designated below.
and the
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX [social security number removed]
is not one the list
IRS Link which indicates that returns, extensions, and payments can be sent to these addresses by FedEx, UPS, etc.
right, and the address for submitting form 8453 is not on the list. Meaning I can't use UPS/FEDEX?
Mail Form 8453 to: Internal Revenue Service Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254 Receipt and Control Branch Austin, TX 73344-0254
You can send your form by any trackable method. This would include UPS and FedEx.
Thank you all. but I think I should re-state my requirements.
Carrier: UPS
Form to send: 8453
IRS instructs to send this to
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX [social security number removed]
and yet only the following locations according to IRS accept mail from UPS/FEDEX
Since you want to send the form and 1099-B, you can use Priority Mail with USPS as the IRS website does not state that private carriers can deliver anything other than returns extensions and payments.
