IRS & US Postal

[ILLMAS]

Can the IRS use the US Postal to track where a TP recieves mail? A client of mine is asking, but I don't know.

Thanks

As far as I can tell, even the postal service can't always figure out where people get their mail.

If the IRS sends a ceritfied letter, you can bet they will know where it was delivered.

So the direct answer to your question is .... YES

I agree with Jainen and Jack.

If I never had any certified, priority or express mail from the IRS, the IRS would not be able to ask the postal office where I am receiving my mail. The FBI would but not the IRS (I think).

If the IRS sent me a certified mail and I sign for it, the IRS will know where I am receiving my mail.

If I live in an aparment building and all certified mail is signed by the front desk guy AND I HAVE A GOOD LAWYER, then the IRS would NOT know for sure where I am receiving my email. (keep in mind that mail delivery guys are always rushing and the front desk person doesn't have time to see the list of tenants).

As you can see, the direct answer to your question is..... NO, YES, IT DEPENDS. I am glad I cleared all doubts. lol.
