Tax day: Your 3 extra days are over

The government gave you three extra days to get your taxes done this year, but if you like to live on the edge, here’s what you need to know:
  • File electronically at irs.gov for convenience and faster refunds. Be sure to file for an automatic six-month extension if you still can’t get it together.
  • Columbia-area post offices will not be open extra hours for procrastinators. They stopped that practice nearly a decade ago as many taxpayers turned to online filing.
  • Most branches close between 4:30 and 5 p.m. But check usps.gov for more information on your local branch. If you must make the mad dash, the latest possible pickup in the Columbia area is at 7 p.m. at 2930 Emanuel Church Road in West Columbia.
