New Orleans, La. - Last minute tax filers will have the convenience of curbside service at the main post office in New Orleans. The deadline for filing tax returns is midnight on Monday, April 17th.

Beginning at 4 p.m. and lasting until midnight, postal employees will be out in front of the post office at 701 Loyola Avenue, taking mail from customers. The main post office will have normal full Retail Window service available from 7:30am until 7:00pm. Mail deposited by midnight will receive the April 17th postmark.

The main post office is the only site in the New Orleans, which will offer curbside collection again this year.

For customers using the curbside drop-off:
•Please try to drop off your tax return as early as possible; as the night goes on, traffic increases.
•Pull up as far as possible to the next available collector and try to pull as close to the curb as possible.
•If your passenger side window is inoperable, you will need to park your vehicle and hand it to a collector; our collectors will not, for safety reasons, be able to come around to a driver's side window.
•If you have a dog in the car, please make sure it is under control, to ensure collectors will not be in danger of a dog bite.
•Postage is not available for purchase at curbside. Stamps and other types of postage are available at the Retail window until 7:00pm. The Automated Postal Center located in the lobby is available 24 hours daily for customers who may need stamps, certified or registered mailing for their tax returns.
