Indianapolis, IN— The deadline (this year, Thursday, April 15th) is fast approaching to get federal and state income tax returns in the mail.
In Indiana, regular hours of operation will be the order of the day on April 15th. To ensure a postmark on April 15th, postal customers must deposit tax returns at Post Offices prior to scheduled closing times, or mail returns in local blue mailboxes prior to scheduled pick up times (posted on the mailbox).
An April 15th postmark will be available for those tax returns deposited before midnight in the collection boxes outside of mail processing plants in Indiana. These include:
Indianapolis, 125 W. South Street
South Bend, 424 S. Michigan Street
Muncie, 4300 S. Cowan Road
Terre Haute, 150 W. Margaret Drive
Fort Wayne, 1501 S. Clinton Street
Kokomo, 2719 S. Webster
Lafayette, 3450 State Road 26 East
Gary, 1499 Martin Luther King Drive
“Remember to apply proper postage (44 cents for the first ounce and 17 cents for each additional ounce),” said Kim Yates, Communications Programs Specialist for the Postal Service. “Applying incorrect postage is one of the most common mistakes Americans make when mailing their tax returns.”
