Technically, No. That is, however, one of those gray areas. When you pay taxes, you don't specifically pay USPS. The USPS is supposed to be an independent agency that funds itself by the services it offers. In the past few years the USPS has been having financial trouble, therefore it has had to borrow some money from the federal government.
