Fed Ex to Treasury Dept. P.O. Box

QUESTION: We have a client who needs to send the Foreign Bank Account Report  forms to the Treasury Department PO Box in Detroit. However he can only send by FEDX who will not deliver to PO Boxes.  I was wondering if you have a street address for the Dept of Treasury in MI. Or what you might recommend that we do.

REPLY: I don't know of any alternate address for the FBAR form. Because the 30th is on Saturday, the form is not due until Monday, July 2nd. He could send the signed form to you via Fed Ex and then you could mail it for him with a certified mail receipt. 

Or, perhaps he could send the form to you as a PDF file and you could mail it for him. If he can't do that, he could send it to you via fax.  But I would prefer the Fed Ex option because of the original signature on the form.
