LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY —For the third year in a row, Emancipation Day will delay the tax filing deadline for Americans.  Tax Day 2018 is Tuesday, April 17.

Kentucky and southern Indiana postal facilities will be open regular business hours on Tuesday, April 17.  The majority of taxpayers now use electronic filing to deliver their federal and state tax returns, eliminating the need for a midnight rush to the post office.

Post Office, Self-Service Kiosk and collection box locations, hours, and pick-up time information is available at 1-800-ASK-USPS or online at www.usps.com. 

Please remember mail must be deposited before the last collection time at the post office or collection box on April 17 to receive an April 17, 2018 postmark.
