The Electronic Filing and Payment Fairness Act applies the mailbox rule to documents and payments submitted electronically to the IRS.
The Electronic Filing and Payment Fairness Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to apply the mailbox rule to documents and payments submitted electronically to the IRS. This means that if a taxpayer sends a return, claim, statement, or payment electronically, it is considered delivered or paid on the date it is sent, regardless of when the IRS actually receives or reviews it. The Secretary of the Treasury must issue regulations by December 31, 2025, to implement these changes, which will apply to documents and payments sent after that date.
