This year Tax Day falls on Tuesday, April 17. Because the typical tax deadline (April 15) fell on a Sunday, it would have normally been moved to Monday, April 16. But…
This year, April 16 is Emancipation Day, a holiday set aside to commemorate the 1862 signing of the Emancipation Act by President Abraham Lincoln. Emancipation Day is a legal holiday in D.C. with city workers off the job.
This means Tax Day is being pushed ahead one more day to Tuesday, April 17.
Still need to file an extension like I just did? Here’s what the IRS says:
“April 17 is the deadline for most taxpayers to file an extension and to pay taxes owed to avoid penalty and interest charges. If you file for an extension, your return is due Oct. 15. Special rules may apply if you’re in the military or live outside the U.S.”
You can file your extension HERE. And find out the status of your refund HERE, then use all that dough to snag your PIQNIQ tickets HERE!
