I filed 2 83(b) forms and am thinking that I may need to mail an additional copy of each one to the IRS to ensure that they're received and processed correctly:
(1) I mailed one that was to go certified mail, and the envelope had a return receipt attached to it. However, the postage that was paid for was only for certified mail, no return receipt, and the certified mail tracking number can't be tracked; the USPS website states that no information is available.
Should I mail another copy of this one with a return receipt as well?
(2) I mailed another one for a foreign person who is in the process of getting a visa. He isn't yet working in the US, but he will be, and so I mailed it to the IRS address for the state where he will be paying US income taxes--not the IRS address for foreign tax returns.
Should I mail another copy of this one to the IRS address for foreign tax returns?
Thanks!
