Tax Filing Deadline Today

The last U.S. mail pickup at the Mailbox in South Whitehall is 5 p.m. today.

If you're a procrastinator when it comes to filing taxes, beware. The deadline to file your federal income tax returns or request an extension from the Internal Revenue Service is midnight on Monday, April 18.

This year's tax deadline is actually three days later than the traditional deadline of April 15. The deadline was extended three days this year because Friday, April 15 was a holiday in Washington, D.C. 

Some post offices in Pennsylvania will offer extended hours to accommodate last-minute filers, according to a news release issued by the United States Postal Service.
