Unless you include a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with your payment, we do not mail the receipt back to you unless there is an additional amount still due.

Please remember, the payment envelope has to have a federally cancelled postmark on or before the due date. A postage meter date does not constitute a valid postmark. When dropping your envelope at the post office or in a mailbox, it may not be validated that day. When in doubt of a timely payment, have your postmaster hand-validate your envelope.
