Due day for taxes

YOUNGSTOWN

Post offices in the Mahoning Valley do not plan extended hours tonight for mailing of state and federal income-tax returns.

Taxpayers had an extra weekend this year to file their income-tax returns because of a District of Columbia holiday. The deadline is midnight tonight.

For those mailing returns today, the postal service recommends filers mail early in the day at any post office or collection box. They also urge that those depositing returns in a collection box today double-check the pick-up schedule on the label of the box. To ensure getting the April 18 postmark, returns must be deposited before the last scheduled pick-up time.
