Retail
In addition to the 151 Post Office locations throughout Northern Virginia, customers can purchase postage stamps at many grocery stores and pharmacies. Visit www.usps.com and select the Find Locations tab to find a convenient location.
Automated Postal Centers (APC’s)
APC’s offer customers’ 24-hour access to Postal products and services. An APC can be used for most mailing and shipping transactions. To locate an APC or other alternate access location, visit www.usps.com and select the Find Locations tab.
Mailers using an Automated Postal Center (APC), or self service kiosks, should be aware that APC’s do not provide proof-of-mailing as the date of sale on the receipt does not necessarily represent the mailing date. A list of APC locations is provided on the next page.
Not ready to file today? The IRS does grant filers a six-month extension on filing provided they fill out a special form. The extension is only for more time to file and does not change the time in which you have to pay your tax liability.
