This is according to the US Law: (a) General rule. Section 7502 provides that, if the requirements of that section are met,a document or payment is deemed to be filed or paid on the date of the postmark stamped on the envelope or other appropriate wrapper (envelope) in which the document or payment was mailed.9Visto0likes0Comentarios
