Fidelity has informed us of an important change to how the U.S. Postal Service postmarks mail. With the tax deadline quickly approaching, we wanted to pass this update along so it can be accounted for when to submit them.
Effective immediately, the U.S. Postal Service has updated how machine-applied postmarks are assigned. Previously, the postmark date reflected the exact date that mail was dropped off or collected. Now, the postmark date will reflect the date mail is processed at a USPS facility. This is typically 1 to 2 days after drop-off. Mail placed in a collection box may experience further delays, depending on the frequency of mail pickup.
This change is highly important for deadlines that rely on postmarks. This includes contribution checks that are mailed to Fidelity, which must be postmarked by the tax filing deadline to qualify as a Prior Year Contribution. If a client is in need of a same-day postmark, they must take mail to a U.S. Post Office retail counter and request a manual (hand-stamped) postmark.
This change does not impact checks that are mailed to Vicus Capital for deposit, nor does this impact private mail carriers such as FedEx or UPS.
Should you have any questions or wish to discuss how this change may impact specific clients, we encourage you to reach out to Advisory Operations at (855) 558-4287 or via email at advisoryoperations@vicuscapital.com.
