Certified mail can be tracked, you can prove without a doubt when and where and to whom it was sent. That way if they send someone mail regarding their taxes, the person cannot get away with lying, saying they did not receive it. Especially when dealing with IRS Collections, there are certain notices that the IRS must send to a Taxpayer before they can start getting aggressive (garnishing wages, levying bank accounts, seizing assets). It is important that the IRS be able to prove that they sent these notices in case the Taxpayer later wants to claim that their rights were violated. The IRS is required by law to send taxpayers correspondence by way of certified mail when it come to collection matters. This is necessary in order for the IRS to fullfil what the IRS calls "Due Process of Collection." When a taxpayer is in collections the IRS, by law, must send notification of collection to make the taxpayer aware of their liability as well as their right to cure the situation. Once the IRS has sent all necessary notifications, and the taxpayer has not appealed the final notification then the IRS is free to exercise their full authority to collect what they state they are owed. This usually results in wage levies, bank levies and tax liens. It may be advisable to contact a tax resolution specialist if this occurs.
No, the IRS does not require Form 1096 to be sent via certified mail. However, it is generally recommended to use a reliable mailing method to ensure it is received by the IRS on time. Always keep a copy for your records and consider using a tracking option for added assurance.
Any mail from the IRS is usually regular postal mail service's.
Relax. They are still going through the huge amount of last minute mail. Wait a few weeks before panicking. And actually, never panic on this..you did exactly the right thing by sending it certified. Legally, the IRS has receved your return...a USPS mailing receipt for certified or registered mail (see IRC Sec 7502(c)) is considered prima facie evidence of receipt by the US Government (IRS), and your certified mailing receipt proves this happened on time. You're completely covered.
If you file a return on paper, you may be tempted to just drop your tax return in the mail. However, if you send your return by regular mail, you can't be assured that it was received by the IRS, so consider using Registered or Certified Mail to file your tax returns. Not only can you easily trace your mail using these methods, the IRS considers registered or certified mail the best evidence that your return was timely filed. If you opt for U.S. Mail, note that the IRS has changed the filing location for several areas, so double check where to send your return by reading the instructions on your tax form.

Yes, first class mail can be certified by adding a Certified Mail service to it. This provides proof of mailing and delivery.
The IRS typically sends certified letters for important communications, such as notices of tax deficiencies, audits, or collection actions. Certified mail ensures that the recipient receives the notice and provides a record of delivery. This includes notices like CP504 (Intent to Levy) or CP2000 (Proposed Changes to Income). Receiving a certified letter indicates that the taxpayer should take prompt action to address the issue.
Not always. It can be though. ------------------ certified mail has nothing to do with the contents. It means the sender wants the delivery and receipt of the mail verified b the the U.S. Post Office. Sometimes certified mail is good news sometimes it is bad news.
