The U.S. Postal Service announced it will end Saturday mail delivery by Aug. 1. Speak out: How will this affect you?

Federal and state income taxes have to be postmarked by today
Tax returns at the federal and state levels have to be postmarked by today, Tuesday April 17 to meet this year's deadline. This year's deadline is two days later than the regular April 15 mark because this year it fell on a Sunday and yesterday was Emancipation Day in Washington DC. The Howell Post Office, located at 4170 Route 9 will be open until 5 p.m. The Adelphia Post Office, located at 16 Wyckoff Rd. will be open until 4:30 p.m. In prior years there were locations open later on Tax Day before the increase in electronic filings cut down on the need for extended hours. See more information on mailing your tax return through the U.S. Postal Service.
