PHOENIX – To assist last-minute tax filers on Tuesday, April 17th – the federal and state deadline for filing income tax returns – the Phoenix Post Office will extend retail hours at all 19 of its locations around the city.

Full retail services will be available to customers until 10 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17, at the Phoenix Main Post Office, 4949 E. Van Buren St., Phoenix AZ 85026.

In addition, all other Post Office retail locations in Phoenix will stay open until 6 p.m. on tax deadline day. (A list of these locations is provided below.)

Phoenix Postmaster Humberto Trujillo urges customers to avoid last-minute crowds and mail their tax returns well before Tuesday, April 17th, or at least early that day. Customers using one of the Postal Service’s blue collection boxes to mail returns are urged to double-check the label on the box to ensure envelopes are deposited prior to the last posted collection time for that day.

Postage stamps and extra services including Certified Mail will be available for purchase at all Phoenix Post Office locations. First-Class postage for envelopes is 50 cents for the first ounce and 21 cents for each additional ounce.

In addition to being available at Post Offices, stamps can be purchased at dozens of locations around the Valley, including contract postal units and many supermarkets. Locations may be looked up online at usps.com.
