#3 is incorrect. The deadline to file federal taxes is also tomorrow, April 17th. Any holiday in D.C. is considered the same as a federal holiday as far as filing taxes, and today is a holiday there. This is from the IRS.gov website.

Federal and State tax returns are due tomorrow- NOT TODAY. Also, post offices are open today!
