Procrastinated on taxes? Here's where you can drop them off tonight

"Happy" Tax Day, Alaska. Still scrambling to finish your filing? The post office at 4141 Postmark Drive will stay open until midnight tonight, with an employee waiting outside to take your taxes and make sure they're postmarked by today's filing deadline.

"There used to be more, but with more and more people filing electronically, we just don't see the need to provide more than that," said regional Postal Service spokesman Ernie Swanson.
