Midnight Deadline for Tax Returns

Some 140 thousand Minnesotans are expected to file for an extension before tonight's income tax filing deadline.

IRS Spokes person Carrie Resch tells KLKS News, midnight tonight is the deadline.  She says electronic filing must be completed before midnight.  If using the postal service, the envelope must be post marked before midnight.

Resch says the IRS is available to answer questions at 1800-Tax 1040.  However a high volume of callers is expected, so anticipate delays.  There is also self help information available at IRS.gov.
