The state Tax Department is staying open later on Tuesday to help North Dakotans prepare their state tax returns.

Tuesday is the income tax filing deadline. Tax Commissioner Cory Fong said his agency will extend its hours to 9 p.m. to accommodate taxpayers who plan to drop off their return in person and for those who have last-minute questions.

The Tax Department office is on the 16th floor of the state Capitol. On Tuesday, the Capitol's north door will be open from 5-9 p.m.

Tax filers will need to have a copy of their federal tax return, W-2s and 1099s with them, Fong said.
