It’s April 15, Tax Day. USPS and posts offices across the country are busy as citizens send their last minute taxes.
Ryan McLeod, a Supervisor at the Logan Post Office, said they are seeing a surge of people coming in today.
“We are not open any extra hours,” McLeod said. “We’ve got the kiosk with 24 hours a day access.”
Amy Spencer of the Utah Association of Public Accountants said the IRS is expecting to sift through 155 million individual 2018 tax returns this year.
“The IRS began accepting both electronic and paper tax returns on January 29,” Spencer said. “The IRS strongly encourages filing tax returns electronically for faster refunds.”
She said choosing e-file and direct deposit for refunds remains the fastest and safest way to file an accurate income tax return and receive a refund.
The IRS has a help line to assist taxpayers by offering several ways to help people prepare their tax returns.
Some people are seeing less of a return on their federal income tax than in the past, because of the early tax cuts by President Trump.
Along with Federal Taxes, Utah State Taxes are due and they can also be electronically filed.
The Utah State taxes codes states you must pay your income taxes by the due date.
