The Postal Service announced today that, for the first time, it won’t keep a window open until midnight on income tax filing deadline day so that tax returns filed at the very last minute can still be postmarked before midnight.

No window hours will be extended.

The latest window hour and collection time is 8 p.m. at the Little Rock Processing and Distribution Center at 4700 E. McCain, North Little Rock.

Constructively, then, the tax deadline is 8 p.m. unless you file on-line. A postal service spokesman notes that the usual tax deadline of April 15, which falls on Sunday, has been extended not one, but two days this year.
