As another has said, if you are filining close to the deadline -- only registered mail (or FedEx) guarantees but only IF you can prove by witnesses that the envelope contained your signed return -- that you have met the filing requirement. Assuming your return gets lost forever.
But you can also prove your return was sent with a certificate of mailing or certified mail, and avoid the cost of a return receipt by enclosing a small check that the IRS will cash immmediately. You can then check online with your bank to see the check has been cashed.

How did you file? If you didn't file electronically, I definitely suggest you do this in the future. You cannot put a price on filing and getting an email response saying that they received your paperwork. I know many people that got screwed, because they filed by mail.....I mean, how DO you know if you send it by mail that it has been filed.....just trust the system.

Always send returns by registered mail.
If not received, it can take 1-2 years or more before being notified, resulting in penalties and interest.
You can call the IRS and they will tell you any balance on your account.
