"...The Unites States Postal Service is making new changes in 2026, including the postmark process — which could cost you late fees and penalties for anyone mailing time-sensitive documents such as tax returns or bill payments. Here's what to know.

A USPS postmark is an official mark that shows where and when mail was accepted by the Postal Service. It used to include the date when it was dropped it in a mailbox or at the post office counter. However, the new rule will reflect the postmark with the date your envelope is first processed by an automated USPS sorting machine, potentially days after it was dropped off — not the actual drop-off date.

But that's not all; rising shipping rates and post office modernization is also on the way for the new year..."
