Procrastinators, we are here for you.
The Everett Post Office isn’t, though. It no longer stays open until midnight on April 15 for late tax filers. If your tradition is to drop your taxes in the mail at closing time, you’ll need to arrive before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
If you truly want the experience of mailing your tax returns after dark, you’ll need to make the trek to the Tukwila post office, which is the nearest one open until midnight.
Why aren’t post offices staying open late anymore? Blame the Internet. H&R Block, TurboTax and other online services are open around-the-clock, so the post office doesn’t have to deal with the extra aggravation.
But even if you’re filing online, you might want to wrap it up by 11. The IRS isn’t going to look kindly on any last-minute Internet hiccups.
