I had checked USPS' home page and there was no update info
on those two mailings.

However, in my mail yesterday (4/12) was a return card
for the other IRS mailing. This one was stamped
received by IRS on 4/3 (just like the other one).

So there is a slowdown somewhere along the line in
getting the postcard delivered. WRT the electronic
confirmation within USPS, it's at least 24 hours since
the confirmation postcard reached my local post office
so they are slow in getting the information into their
database (unlike UPS or FedEx who gets it into their
system within minutes of delivery).

delivered. If you want to verify whether the items were
delivered, and you have the certified mail receipts with the item
numbers, you can verify delivery right on the home page of the
Postal Service, www.usps.com.

It could be normal, or not. Either way, you don't need to be worried. Your
certified mail receipt is proof of timely filing. The return postcards are
just additional insurance. Just don't lose those receipts.

I Certified mailed my returns for both myself and my father
on April 1st. As of today (April 12th), only one Federal
was confirmed delivered (April 3 [at] Fresno office) and
only one State was confirmed (April 7 [at] Sacramento).

Is this normal or should I be worried?
