Postmark Guidance

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation has published information regarding recent changes to the United States Postal Service (USPS) postmarking process to ensure Rhode Island taxpayers are aware and prepared. Recent changes to how the USPS postmarks mail means mail is no longer postmarked when it is received by the USPS. It is now postmarked when it is processed, unless the sender has asked for a manual postmark at a post office counter.
