Certified, return receipt should be sufficient. |

Although you can send it regular mail, and most people do, it's usually best to send it Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. That gives you positive proof of both the mailing date AND the receipt by the IRS.
You don't need to insure it, though. A check payable to the IRS is worthless to anyone else. Registered Mail isn't worth the added expense and delivery of Registered Mail can be VERY slow. |

As bostonianinmo said, Certified mail is probably a better option. Your will save $5.50 compared to Registered mail and still have proof of mailing and delivery. The only advantage of Registered mail is the OPTION of adding insurance, which is unnecessary in this case. |

Unless you have had trouble in the past with delivery of your tax check and return do like the millions of others and send it regular USPS. If you have had problems in the past always copy everything you send and mail it Certified with a return signature. |

Certified return receipt will enable you to prove that your return was filed and to avoid penalties if it arrives after the due date |

Regular mail is sufficient. You also have the option to do a direct debit/ach from your account; this would eliminate the need for mail, plus you will have the record of payment. |

when you use the registered mail, you get a response when the receiver has received the mail. |

We ALWAYS send it registered mail that way you have proof the IRS received it. |

It's OK to send it regular mail. If you want proof of mailing, you'd have to send it with a return receipt requested. |

are you talking about sending a tax return to the IRS or are you talking about a tax return check that you already have that you are sending to someone?
If you are sending a tax return, you can send it by registered mail if you want to be certain that it got there OK.
If your sending a check to another party, you can either send it by registered mail or what I did when I sent a large check was notified the party I was sending it to that it was coming and had them let me know by phone when it arrived. I asked the post office about how long it would take to get to them and then figured that I would allow 2 extra days before I cancelled the check if it didn't arrive. |
