Several Area Post Offices to Stay Open Late on Tax Day
to Accommodate Last Minute Filers
According to the IRS, about 58 percent of tax returns last year were filed via the Internet. However, the Postal Service still expects to see people across northern Ohio rushing to the Post Office at the final hour to have their tax returns postmarked and mailed before the April 15 midnight deadline.
To accommodate last minute filers, several Northern Ohio District Post Offices will be open late on the 15th. Unless otherwise noted, the following Post Offices will be open until midnight on tax day.

Cleveland Main Post Office - 2400 Orange Ave, Cleveland

Customers who mail their returns during the day on the 15th should check with their local Post Office or read the posted times on the collection box to make sure that their tax return will be collected and postmarked before the deadline. Also, any letters or packages weighing 13 ounces or more must be brought to a Post Office and personally handed to a postal employee.
The Internal Revenue Service will accept returns sent via Express Mail, Certified Mail, or Delivery Confirmation for those customers who would like verification that their return was delivered. The IRS accepts the postmark on the envelope as proof of timely filing.
