USPS does not offer a guaranteed overnight service. Priority Mail Express may be 1-day or 2-day service, depending on destination; the earlier deadline always applies.

Electronic forms determine their timeliness by the date they are completed and transmitted, for paper forms the postmark date is used. When the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the next business day is considered to be the last timely date. Penalty and interest will be charged on late reports.
