0 responses 0 comments Because tax day, April 15, falls on a Saturday this year, the deadline for mailing taxes will be extended to Monday, April 17.

Although the Tehachapi branch of the United States Post Office will keep their regular hours (8:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m.) the following Kern county post offices will extend their hours to accommodate last minute tax mailings by collecting and postmarking mail later than usual.

Bakersfield Post Office
3400 Pegasus Drive
will stay open until 8 p.m on April 17.

Tulare Post Office
340 E. Tulare Ave.
will remain open until 12 midnight.

Tips from the postal service

* Be sure proper postage is applied. First Class postage is 39 cents for a weight of one ounce, or about three sheets of paper. Each additional ounce is 24 cents.

* If an IRS address label or envelope is not used, make sure the complete IRS address and zip code is printed on the envelope.

* Include a complete return address and zip code on the envelope used for mailing.

* To avoid the rush, mail early in the day.
