Going to the post office and mailing a paper return is not allowed nor advisable for the 7 million people in the SF Bay Area who are under government-mandated shelter-in-place restrictions because of the high number of Covid19 cases and deaths (and many more unknown cases because of insufficient test kits). They only allow us to go out for medical reasons and food shopping, and if taking the dog for a walk, we must keep six feet away from any other person.
No problem. You can file an electronic extension to file until Oct 15 and the IRS has extended the date to pay any tax due for 90 days, but if you owe, then you can pay that electronically also.
(Actually I live mid-peninsula in the SF bay area and had to go to the PO today to mail a package, no problem at all.)
