The Postal Service encourages everyone to file or mail their returns before Tax Day, April 15. All Post Offices will be open with regular customer service hours. We will not be staying open late.

However, for those who need a last minute postmark, the Reno Main Post Office at 2000 Vassar Street will accept tax returns for postmarking up to 12 midnight.There will be no retail services, but the drive-up collection boxes outside the office will be available for properly stamped envelopes.

A self-service stamp kiosk is available in the lobby 24 hours a day.

Customers can call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777) to find out the regular customer service hours of their local Post Office.

Below are important tax mail tips.

• Apply the proper postage or stamps, especially if enclosing extra forms and schedules. Using a regular size Number 2 envelope, First Class postage costs 49 cents for the first ounce. Each additional ounce requires a 21 cent stamp.
• If you are not sure about the correct postage, it is best to add additional stamps, or take your forms to the Post Office to ensure that correct postage is applied.
• Make sure you print the proper IRS address on the front of the envelope. 
• Print your return address in the upper-left-hand corner of your tax mail envelope.
• Customers who wish certification that their tax mail form is received by IRS, should mail it using Certified Mail Service - available at your local Post Office.
• While encouraged to mail before the deadline; if you do wait until late on Tax Day; be sure to drop off your tax mail return at a postal location that offers late tax mail collection or pick-up.
• Customers with IRS tax questions can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040; or go to www.irs.gov

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
