GREENSBORO, NC -- Need the April 15th postmark but you're not going to make it before the Post Office closes? The ONLY Post Office in the state open until midnight is in Raleigh.
The Raleigh Post Office will accept tax returns with postage applied until 11:59pm at Westgate Station, located at 1 Floretta Place)
Don't want to drive to Raleigh? You'll have to go to the kiosk inside the Post Office and do it yourself. It's user friendly and takes debit and credit cards.
The Postal Service offers the following advice to tax filers:
· If depositing returns in a collection box on Wednesday, April 15, double-check the pick-up schedule on the label. To ensure getting the April 15 postmark, deposit returns before the last scheduled pick-up time.
· Stamped packages weighing more than 13 ounces must be presented in person to a Post Office clerk to comply with FAA regulations
· Make sure your return is signed and dated and all schedules and supporting documents are enclosed.
· Affix the appropriate postage, especially since the item may weigh more than an ounce. Have a postal retail associate weigh and rate the item for you. Tax agencies will not pay postage due and your short-paid return will be returned to sender – and you may miss the deadline (tip: 5 pages equal approximately one ounce).
· It is very important that your envelope has a return address. Short-paid items without a return address will be sent to the postal mail recovery office for determination of the sender, delaying its return.
· Please remember that mail must be deposited before the last collection time at the Post Office or collection box on April 15 to receive an April 15 postmark.
Customers who wish to weigh and mail their tax returns, or regular mail and packages, can do so at any Self-Service Kiosk located at the 24-hour locations listed below. At the Self-Service Kiosk customers can access most retail services, including renewing PO Boxes, purchasing stamps, weighing packages and calculating postage for Priority Express Mail, Priority Mail, and First-Class Mail.
