THe Royal Mail now charge a "surcharge" at the recipients' doorstep for all mail "under paid" - which can be a large letter sent on a small letter stamp - essentially anything where the cost of sending has not been met by the sender - so it will be met by the recipient.
The problem here is the surcharge is £1 min.
So if (like i did with a friend of mine), send a birthday card and forget to stick a stamp on it... the cost would have been say 38p but the surcharge/fine is min £1.
Ouch.
the postage stamp had cost $00.32 in the year 1993
The current value for a standard postage stamp is 46 cents.
1st class postage stamp at this time is .42. (as of May 2008)
You would send your payment to the location indicated on your bill. Sending it to an incorrect office would only delay crediting the payment to your account. If you can't find that address on your bill or the return envelope (usually postage-paid), try calling the customer service number listed on the bill.
First class postage was 41 cents for the first ounce in 1955. A post card cost 26 cents.
You will need postage for the weight of the envelope (probably 2 ounces, for 4 sheets of paper in a 10x13 envelope), plus a surcharge for the size of the envelope. Best guess: $1.19 for first class mail within the United States, as of Feb. 2014.

Put the correct amount of postage stamp on the envelope, address the envelope and then post the envelope.
Yes you do need to make sure that you put the correct amount of postage on the envelope because the IRS will get your mailed income tax return without the correct postage. And also make sure that you have the correct IRS mailing address on the envelope that your return is supposed to be mailed to.
In the UK, it is not only the weight, but also the size and thickness of the envelope or package, and the destination (UK or abroad). It is best take take the envelope to a post office to ensure the correct postage is used.

Presuming the postage is of the correct amount, and the stamp is entirely on the front of the envelope (not 1/3 on the envelope and 2/3 over the top or side) it should not matter.
It is not the size of the envelope that matters, it is the weight - it is probably best to have the package weighed at the Post Office to obtain the correct postage.
Assuming you mean first class US mail: As of August 2012, the cost is regular US postage plus a "non-machinable surcharge" of $0.20. For example, a 1 oz letter would be $0.65 instead of $0.45.
The postage for a 6 x 9 envelope would depend on the weight of it.
