The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance is extending the hours of its Income Tax Call Center through the April 18 filing deadline. “As we near the end of the filing season, we’re expanding our hours of operation to assist more customers,” said New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Jerry Boone. Representatives will answer tax questions from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays through this weekend. There is also a website for questions, www.tax.ny.gov. which is used by nearly 800,000 taxpayers each week during the income tax season.
