Some post offices open late for last-minute tax filers

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Post offices in Palm Beach and Martin counties are girding for the annual surge of mail Tuesday from last-minute income tax filers.

Taxpayers who need a little more time to crunch the numbers will get some relief at several area postal service offices.  Those who mail returns must have an April 15, 2008—or earlier—postmark to be considered on time.

Post offices with late retail hours include:

West Palm Beach main office, 3200 Summit Blvd., midnight.

Stuart Branch, 801 Johnson Ave., midnight.

Palm Beach Gardens office, 3330 Fairchild Gardens Ave., 7 p.m.

Palms West Branch, 10299 Southern Blvd., 6 p.m.

Lake Worth Greenacres, 4300 Jog Road, 5:30 p.m.

Automated Postal Centers (APCs) in all post offices can weigh the return, calculate and print the correct postage — with the April 15, 2008 postmark — until just before the stroke of midnight.
