Just a quick note to warn you and to learn from my mistake last year. I always e-file my federal return, but mail my state and local returns. Well, because of e-filing and the general lack of Tax Day being an event, the Post Office no longer postmarks returns up until midnight. You have to get the returns in before their last pickup or else you will have to use an automated postage machine. Last year, there was a line an hour plus long at the Main facility on E. 38th because the machine transaction takes a while for each piece of postage, and if you are mailing three returns, you can be there a good five minutes. Multiply that by dozens of Erie procrastinators and you’ve got a problem.
Consider 6:00 at the main facility as T-hour, not midnight, ok?
