Tucson Main Post Office to Offer Assistance to Last-minute Income Tax Filers on Tuesday, April 15

TUCSON – Employees of the Tucson Main Post Office at 1501 South Cherrybell Stravenue will collect tax returns until midnight on Tuesday, April 15, to assist last-minute tax filers.  Full Retail services will be available at the Main Post Office until 8 p.m.

Postal employees will be in front of the Main Post Office in the center turn lane on Cherrybell Stravenue to accept late-night tax returns from customers who have the proper postage already affixed and want drive-through convenience.

The lobby of the Main Post Office also features an Automated Postal Center, which allows customers to purchase stamps and mail letters and packages 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using a debit or credit card.

Those wanting to avoid the crowds are encouraged to mail their income tax returns early in the day. Correct postage is a must. First-Class postage is 41 cents for the first ounce and 17 cents for each additional ounce.  Postal customers are encouraged to check the collection times posted on each blue collection box to ensure pick up on April 15.

For information on other Post Offices’ hours, customers are encouraged to visit USPS.com, or call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).
