Changes to Postmarking Procedures May Affect Mailing of Tax Forms – Did You Know?

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) made an announcement in late December that may affect millions of people who mail tax forms or payments this filing season. In general, forms and payments sent by mail are considered to be on time if they are postmarked on or before the due date. Historically, mailed items were usually postmarked the same day they were handed to a postal employee, or deposited in a USPS drop box before the last scheduled pickup time.

However, the USPS is now in the process of consolidating mail processing activities down to just 60 regional sorting locations, with a limited number of truck deliveries to those facilities daily. Since most mailed items will not get postmarked until they arrive at one of the 60 locations, many postmarks will show a date several days after the item was originally mailed. These changes are especially likely to affect rural communities, many of which will now be hundreds of miles from the nearest processing facility.

Therefore, anyone who needs to send tax documents through the mail should play it safe by dropping parcels off at a post office or collection facility at least a week before the IRS deadline. As an alternative, consider e-filing tax forms whenever possible. A tax professional can help you securely submit your return, other IRS document or tax payment electronically for fast, verified delivery.

Refund Amounts - Did You Know?

If your refund amount is different than stated on the filed tax return, part or all of your refund may have been used to pay off (offset) past-due federal tax, student loans, state income tax or other past-due debts.

You'll receive a notice from the IRS if such an offset occurs that will show the original tax refund amount, the offset amount, as well as the name, address and telephone number of the agency receiving the payment.

If you haven't received your refund yet, you may be able to check the status using the IRS' "Where's my Refund?" tool: https://www.irs.gov/refunds.

2026 Tax-Related Scam Warnings – Did You Know? (1/2)

The IRS recently posted its official list of the worst tax-related scams to watch out for in 2026. They include:

IRS Impersonation and Online Account Identity Theft:

Scammers claiming to represent the IRS often contact people by phone, email or other messaging apps. They may demand immediate payment of supposed tax debts, threaten imminent arrest, or give instructions to scan QR codes or click links leading to impostor websites that harvest personal data. Other identity thieves steal sensitive data by pretending to help people set up online IRS accounts. The use of AI has made some of these calls and messages more convincing, but the IRS simply does not operate in these ways.

Social Media Misinformation on Tax Matters:

Videos and posts promoting "tax hacks" abound across social media platforms. These supposed money-saving strategies often involve reporting inaccurate information to the IRS, at the risk of facing harsh tax penalties or even criminal charges. Stay safe by seeking tax advice only from reputable sources, like a trusted tax professional.

Fake Charities:

Fraudsters create fake charities to steal people's money, identities or both. With the recent creation of a new non-itemized deduction for charitable donations starting in 2026, these scams have become more common. Before donating to any organization, request detailed information about its mission, location and tax-exempt status. If you have any doubts, search the IRS database of registered charities (link below) to verify that the organization is legitimate. Search carefully, since many fake charities use names very similar to those of legitimate organizations.

After 10 years in Conroe, we have decided to expand a little. We are excited to announce we have an office in Palacios. It has been a very exciting time, and we are still going through a few growing pains, but we are looking forward to offering services in the Palacios area.

Owned and operated by Kristy Law who attended Palacios High School and went on to receive an accounting degree from Sam Houston State University; Absolute Acct & Tax Services has been operating in Conroe, Texas for almost 10 years now.

We offer a wide variety of services, with our main focus being tax preparation and planning. We also offer bookkeeping and financial statement presentation and payroll services. We prepare personal, corporate, and non-profit tax returns. While we have been quietly servicing clients in the area for more than 5 years, we are hoping to operate a little less quietly now.

As we begin our growth in the community, we might not always be in the office, but if you give us a call and schedule an appointment, we will make sure we are here to help you.

I look so forward to returning to the city I grew up in, and I look forward to seeing familiar faces.
