Remember To File Tax Return By Midnight Tuesday

Compiled By Business Staff

Time to pay up.

Midnight Tuesday is the deadline for filing your federal income tax return. Unless you apply for an extension, returns must have an April 15 postmark to avoid a late-filing penalty by the Internal Revenue Service.

And remember: an extension does not absolve you from the requirement to pay, in full, and on time.

To help filers meet the deadline, the U.S. Postal Service will accept returns until midnight at several Spokane locations, including the Manito Station; Opportunity Branch on East Sprague; the NorthTown Shopping Center parking lot; and the Mail Processing Center on Trent.

But for those who hate to keep the government waiting, the IRS for the first time will accept returns dated April 15 and sent by Federal Express, UPS, Airborne Express and DHL Worldwide Express.
