What’s Open on Easter Sunday?

By Leave a Comment

whats open on easter

Easter is here and whether you’re gathering with friends and family at home or heading out into town, knowing what is open on Easter can be helpful. Some stores and restaurants close for the holiday, which falls on April 21, 2019. Don’t waste time heading to a location that is not open on Easter. Here’s a look at which businesses will open this Sunday.

Retail Stores

Many large retail chain stores are open on Easter, including popular options like Walmart. If you are wondering if your favorite store will be open, here is a list of locations that open their doors on Easter:

  • Bed, Bath & Beyond
  • BJs Wholesale Club
  • Dollar Tree
  • DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse
  • Half Price Books
  • Home Depot
  • Kmart
  • Lowe’s
  • Old Navy
  • Petco
  • Sears
  • Walmart

The most notable exceptions are Target, Costco, and Sam’s Club, all of which close for the holiday. However, they aren’t the only ones.

Here is a list of stores that are usually closed for Easter:

  • Best Buy
  • Burlington
  • Costco
  • JCPenney
  • Macy’s
  • Marshalls
  • Michaels
  • Sam’s Club
  • Target
  • TJ Maxx

Some other stores, like Hobby Lobby, never open on Sundays, so they will be closed on Easter as well.

Grocery Stores

Aside from Publix, most major grocery stores are open on Easter. Local independent grocers may or may not open, so it is wise to call ahead and confirm before you head out to shop.

Drug Stores and Pharmacies

Major chain drug stores and pharmacies are usually open on Easter. However, they may use a holiday schedule, reducing the number of hours they will be open. If you need to head to the drug store, check the chain’s website or contact your store to confirm when they are open.

Restaurants

Most restaurants are open on Easter, and some even offer special Easter brunch and dinner menus. If you plan to attend one of the special events, it may be wise to call ahead and make a reservation. Popular restaurants may fill up quick on Easter Sunday, so they might not be able to accommodate walk-ins, or the wait might be long.

Gas Stations and Convenience Stores

Gas stations and convenience stores are usually open on Easter. However, employees may only be available for a limited number of hours. If you just need gas, pay-at-the-pump options are generally available 24/7. If you need to head inside for snacks or to pay for gas in cash, you may want to check with your preferred station ahead of the holiday to confirm they will be open when you intend to arrive.

U.S. Stock Markets

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and the bond market (SIFMA) are closed on all Sundays, including Easter.

Banks and Credit Unions

Banks and credit unions are closed on Easter, mainly because the majority of locations do not operate on Sundays.

Public Libraries

Many public libraries are closed every Sunday, so they will also be closed on Easter. However, some locations that typically operate on Sunday may be open and might even host special events.

If you are considering going to the library on Sunday, check with your nearest location before you head out the door to confirm if your library is open or closed.

K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Universities

Public and private K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities, usually do not hold classes on Sundays, and most offices are not open on weekends. As a result, the majority will be closed on Easter.

However, for schools with dorms, many basic services like cafeterias and student centers may be open to support students living on campus.

Garbage Services

If your garbage is usually picked up on Sunday, your service may or may not be rescheduled for Easter. Check with your service provider ahead of the holiday to see if your pickup has been moved.

Local dumps also may or may not be open. This depends on whether your landfill typically offers Sunday service and if the operating business chooses to close. Before driving over, call your local dump to confirm they are open.

National Parks

The National Park Service (NPS), the agency that operates national parks, is closed on Easter. However, many park locations are open 365 days a year, so you can still visit the parks. Just keep in mind that there won’t be many (if any) rangers or employees on site that day.

April 20, the Saturday before Easter, is even a free entrance day. If you are gathering with family and friends ahead of the holiday, this may be a great and affordable opportunity to head to your nearest national park.

Federal Government

Aside from public safety and security organizations, most federal agencies close on all Sundays, including Easter.

State and Local Government

State and local government agencies, aside from those who focus on public safety and security, rarely operate on Sundays, so they will be closed on Easter.

Mail and Delivery Services

US post offices are closed on Sunday usually, so they will not be open on Easter. UPS and FedEx are also closed on Sunday, aside from a few specialty services.

When in Doubt, Call to Confirm

If you have a specific destination in mind this Easter, calling to confirm that the store or restaurant will be open is a smart move. This is especially true for small businesses, as they can set their own schedule and it may deviate from other retailers or restaurants nearby.

Is the Post Office Open on Easter 2019?

By 1 Comment

is the post office open on easter

Sunday deliveries have become increasingly common in the US. Amazon’s partnership with certain package services, including the United States Postal Service (USPS), in specific areas, opened the door for Sunday deliveries in cities where that wasn’t previously an option. As a result, many people have become a little spoiled by the service, and increasingly wonder if the post office is open on Easter, or any Sunday.

Is the Post Office Open on Easter?

No, the post office is not open on Easter. Generally, post offices close on all Sundays. Even if your location typically offers Sunday deliveries, there usually is not any help available at the customer service counter, and Easter will be no different. However, there also won’t be any Sunday deliveries, even if they are common in your area.

If your post office has certain self-service features in unsecured portions of the building, those should still be available on Easter. For example, post office boxes that are accessible 24/7 will still be reachable. Similarly, any automated postage machines, stamp vending machines, and similar services that do not require an employee may remain available on Easter.

Post offices will be open on the days surrounding Easter, depending on their typical operating schedule. Here is a look at the span from Good Friday to Easter Monday:

  • Good Friday, April 19 – The post office is open on Good Friday according to the locations regular schedule
  • Saturday, April 20 – If your post office usually offers Saturday hours, it will be open on the Saturday before Easter
  • Easter Sunday, April 21 – The post office is closed
  • Easter Monday, April 22 – The post office is open according to its usual opening and closing hours

Are UPS or FedEx Open on Easter?

No, UPS and FedEx close on Easter. UPS is typically not open on Sundays, so Easter will be no different. The only delivery exceptions are the UPS Express Critical service, which is available 365 days a year, including on Easter. Certain UPS Store locations may open on Easter, though only a highly limited number.

FedEx is mainly closed on Easter as well. They do make exceptions for FedEx Custom Critical deliveries and FedEx Trade Networks shipments. Additionally, FedEx Office locations may be open, though on a modified holiday schedule.

Post Office Holiday Schedule

USPS is a federal government agency. As a result, they follow the federal holiday schedule each year. Here is a look at the post office holiday schedule for 2019:

  • Tuesday, January 1 – New Year’s Day – the post office is closed
  • Monday, January 21 – Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday – the post office is closed
  • Monday, February 18 – Washington’s Birthday / President’s Day – the post office is closed
  • Monday, May 27 – Memorial Day – the post office is closed
  • Thursday, July 4 – Independence Day – the post office is closed
  • Monday, September 2 – Labor Day – the post office is closed
  • Monday, October 14 – Columbus Day – the post office is closed
  • Monday, November 11 – Veterans Day – the post office is closed
  • Thursday, November 28 – Thanksgiving Day – the post office is closed
  • Wednesday, December 25 – Christmas Day – the post office is closed

While Easter isn’t listed as an official federal government employee holiday, it does always fall on a Sunday. Most government offices close on weekends, except for organizations that oversee public safety and national security. Since the post office isn’t typically open on Sundays, the fact that it isn’t listed as a federal holiday doesn’t have an impact on their schedule.

Post Office Normal Business Hours

Not every post office maintains the same operating schedule. Most locations open between 8:00 am and 8:30 am and close between 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. However, some locations stay open earlier and close much later on weekdays. For example, a few Miami locations open at 7:30 am and don’t close until 9:00 pm.

In most cases, Saturday hours are more limited, and not every location opens at all on Saturdays. If you need to head to the post office on a Saturday, or any time outside of the typical operating hours, it is best to confirm that your location will be open before you head out. You can either contact your local post office directly or go to the USPS website for additional details.

Is Target Open on Easter?

By Leave a Comment

is Target open on Easter

On average, American adults who celebrate Easter are planning to spend about $151 for the holiday. For some, it is a matter of sticking with a family tradition. Others want to take advantage of store sales and various retailer events. But not every retailer is open on Easter, and that can make it hard for families to plan how they spend their holiday. If you were hoping to head to Target on Easter, you are likely wondering about Target’s Easter hours.

Is Target Open on Easter?

No, Target is not open on Easter. It is one of just a few major retailers who close their doors in recognition of the holiday, so some may be surprised by the information.

However, Target is open on each of the days surrounding the holiday. Here’s a look at that schedule for 2019:

  • Good Friday, April 19: Target will open according to their regular schedule
  • Saturday, April 20: Target will be open regular hours
  • Easter Sunday, April 21: All Target stores are closed
  • Easter Monday, April 22: Target is open for regular hours

Target usually has Easter items on sale before the holiday, so you just need to make sure you head over before April 20 if you want to take advantage of the discounts on baskets, candy, décor, and more.

On days Target stores are open, most follow a similar schedule. Here is a look at a typical Target’s hours:

  • Monday through Friday: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm
  • Saturday: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm or 11:00 pm
  • Sunday: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm

Some stores do have extended hours, particularly popular ones in big cities. Additionally, some small town stores may open later or close earlier. If you prefer to shop early in the morning or late at night, you might want to contact your nearest location in advance to confirm that the store will be open before you head out the door.

Are Other Stores Closed on Easter?

While not many retailers close on Easter, there are a few that choose to keep their doors closed on the holiday. One of the major ones is Costco.

Additionally, some stores and restaurants are always closed on Sundays, even when it isn’t a holiday. Two prime examples are Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A, both of which never open on Sunday.

However, the vast majority of chain retailers, grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants are open on Easter, relying on their typical Sunday schedule. Independent restaurants and grocers, as well as small businesses, may or may not open on Easter.

If you are planning to head out on Easter Sunday and want to go somewhere specific, it is wise to contact the location and ask about their Easter and Sunday schedules. That way, you do not make a trip only to discover that the business decided not to open on the holiday.

Target Holiday Schedule 2019

Since retailers do not always follow the federal holiday schedule to determine when they are open, it can be hard to plan your shopping. Each retailer controls its holiday schedule, so one chain’s decision may differ from another’s.

Plus, some deviate from the norm, like Target stores closing on Easter when most other retailers are open. This can be incredibly confusing for shoppers.

Target stores all follow the same holiday schedule, which the retailer’s corporate office determines. Here is the Target holiday schedule for 2019:

  • Tuesday, January 1: Target is open on New Year’s Day
  • Monday, January 21: Target is open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • Thursday, February 14: Target is open on Valentine’s Day
  • Monday, February 18: Target is open on Presidents’ Day
  • Sunday, March 17: Target is open on St. Patrick’s Day
  • Friday, April 19: Target is open on Good Friday
  • Sunday, April 21: Target is closed on Easter Sunday
  • Monday, April 22: Target is open on Easter Monday
  • Sunday, May 12: Target is open on Mother’s Day
  • Monday, May 27: Target is open on Memorial Day
  • Sunday, June 16: Target is open on Father’s Day
  • Thursday, July 4: Target is open on Independence Day
  • Monday, September 2: Target is open on Labor Day
  • Monday, October 7: Target is open on Columbus Day
  • Thursday, October 31: Target is open on Halloween
  • Monday, November 11: Target is open on Veteran’s Day
  • Thursday, November 28: Target is open on Thanksgiving Day, but for limited hours
  • Friday, November 29: Target is open on Black Friday for extended hours
  • Tuesday, December 24: Target is open, and they’re open extended hours on Christmas Eve
  • Wednesday, December 25: Target is closed on Christmas Day
  • Tuesday, December 31: Target is open on New Year’s Eve
  • Wednesday, January 1: Target is open on New Year’s Day 2020

By referring to the holiday schedule above, you can make sure that you don’t accidentally head to Target when stores are closed. This ensures you don’t have to deal with a wasted trip and that you can get the items you need from your preferred retailer.

Filing Taxes Late? Here Are Some Excuses That Actually Work With the IRS

By Leave a Comment

filing taxes late

While filing your federal taxes on time is ideal, sometimes being late is unavoidable. Usually, this means dealing with fees like failure-to-file or failure-to-pay penalties. However, while you might imagine the Internal Revenue Service to be unforgiving, that isn’t always true. There are certain situations that even the IRS will accept for filing taxes late.

Prolonged Health Issue

If you have a long-term health issue, particularly chronic or mental illnesses, the IRS may waive any penalties. You can increase your odds of avoiding additional fees if your condition causes issues with either short-term memory or the ability to concentrate.

Late tax filers who want to use this excuse, should know that the IRS might ask for proof of your medical situation. Typically, this could include hospital records or a letter from a qualified physician who can attest to your health state.

An IRS Phobia

Everyone gets overwhelmed at times. If genuine feelings of anxiety make it impossible to file your taxes because of extreme fear. The IRS might be surprisingly understanding.

Like prolonged health issues, you can’t use this excuse without some real proof. Since it is mental health related, a letter from a medical professional is likely a must.

Stolen Records

If, for example, there was a burglary and the thieves stole your computer with all of your documents, the IRS may waive any late filing-related fees. You will need something formal to present that shows you were the victim or such a crime. You should obtain a police report. Otherwise, the IRS may not accept this excuse.

Damaged Records

Similar to stolen records, if you’ve lost tax documents in a fire or natural disaster, you might be able to get a waiver of the fees for filing late. Additionally, if a large-scale natural disaster made it impossible for you to file on time, regardless of whether you had your records available, you might also be able to file late without a penalty.

Grieving

Those who have recently lost a loved one may be able to file their taxes late without a penalty. Typically, you can only cite this as a reason for not filing on time if the person who passed was a very close family member. Additionally, you might have to submit proof that the person died, like a death certificate.

Other Reasonable Causes

The IRS may waive any penalties for other reasons as well, as long as the IRS deems the cause reasonable. Note that the IRS will examine each situation on a case-by-case basis, and will carefully consider any justification for being late.

However, even if you feel the cause is reasonable, it does not mean the IRS will agree. It is ultimately the IRS’s decision.

Excuses That Will Not Work on the IRS

People have used some interesting approaches in an attempt to get out of filing their taxes or filing late. While the IRS does understand that some things in life are outside of a tax filer’s control and will try to be lenient, some excuses are practically guaranteed to fail.

For example, trying to claim that filing taxes is against your religion is not going to work. All individuals who earn an income have to file and pay any taxes owed, regardless of their religious preference.

Similarly, claiming ignorance will not do the trick either. Whether you understand the tax law is irrelevant as far as the IRS is concerned, so saying that you didn’t know what you were supposed to do is not going to get you out of any penalty fees.

You also can’t blame your tax preparer if your taxes are late. Ultimately, making sure you’ve filed your taxes on time is your responsibility, so you can’t just pass the buck because you use a person to make sure your taxes are correct.

First-Time Penalty Abatement

On a positive note, if you have never been late filing your taxes before, you may be able to get the fees waived as part of the First-Time Penalty Abatement policy. Essentially, it serves as a possible “get out of jail free” card that you can use once during your lifetime, showing that even the IRS can forgive a person for making a mistake.

However, there are some requirements. For example, you need to have no penalties for the three tax years prior, have paid or arranged to pay any taxes that were due, and otherwise be up-to-date with your filings.

Ultimately, there are some reasons that the IRS will accept as a reasonable excuse for not filing on time. But, ideally, it is better to avoid filing late in the first place. If you know you’ll be late, consider requesting an extension. If approved, you could get an additional six months to file, allowing you to avoid the failure-to-file penalty at a minimum.
