Taxpayers who have waited until April 15 to file their tax returns in Oregon are advised to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute to mail them. The days of post offices staying open until 11:59 p.m. on Tax Day are long gone, with most post offices now closing at 5 p.m. However, there are a few locations in the Portland area that stay open until 6 p.m. or later for last-minute filers.
If it’s past 6:30 p.m. and all post offices are closed, the Oregon Department of Revenue will accept state tax returns until 11:59 p.m. in their collection boxes located in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Medford, and Bend. No stamp is required for these drop-offs, but they will not forward federal tax returns to the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to file electronically, as it is faster and more efficient than paper filing. Extensions are available for those who cannot file by the deadline, giving them until October 15 to submit their taxes. However, any taxes owed are still due by April 15.
Taxpayers who are expecting a refund are not required to submit their tax returns by April 15, but it is preferred. It is essential to plan ahead and take advantage of electronic filing options to ensure a smooth filing process.
