BOISE, Idaho – As in recent years, all Southern Idaho Post Offices will maintain regular customer service hours and collection times on Tax Day, April 15, 2019. The latest collection time on April 15 in the Boise area is the mail processing and distribution facility, located at 2201 S. Cole Road, where tax returns can be dropped until 8 p.m. In addition, customers who print a mailing label before midnight, at any of the six Self-Service Kiosks in the Boise area, will receive an April 15 postmark (see list of locations below).

Customers are encouraged to mail their tax returns early in the day, and check the collection times on each box to ensure pick up on April 15. Correct postage is a must. First-Class letter-size postage is 55 cents for the first ounce and 15 cents for each additional ounce. If you use a larger envelope, First Class postage is $1 for the first ounce and 15 cents for each additional ounce. Customers wanting certification that their tax forms are received by the IRS, should mail them using Certified Mail Service.

Stamps can always be purchased through Self-Service Kiosks, which accept debit and credit cards, and alternate locations, such as grocery stores and ATMs.
