DULUTH, GA — Several metro-Atlanta Post Offices with normal hours past 5 p.m. will accommodate last-minute tax filers on Monday, April 15th, the tax filing deadline (See attached list).

The Atlanta Main Post Office, 3900 Crown Road, which is open from 6:00 a.m. until midnight, year round, will be staffed to collect returns until midnight on April 15th as well.

When dropping off tax forms on April 15th, Atlanta District Manager Sal Vacca recommends visiting Post Offices early in the day to avoid last minute long lines.

Customers should also be advised that all mail weighing 13 ounces or more must be presented at the retail counter.
