<p>Just to clarify, “by May 1” means 11:59pm tomorrow night rather than 12:00am (3.5 hours), right?</p>
<p>what reply deadline.</p>
<p>correct…you have until 11:59 PM on May 1.</p>
<p>It just has to have the postmark May 1 on it.</p>
<p>Postmark it by May 1st, usually before 4 or 5 Pm at your local post office.</p>
<p>Postmarked, but get a proof of mailing from the post office. also copy the return coupon for your records…</p>
