Good news, procrastinators: Tax deadline pushed to Tuesday
Hey, procrastinators: Don't freak out if you haven't finished your taxes. The IRS is giving you a reprieve until Tuesday.
www.foxnews.comTax Day is not a federal holiday in the United States. It is the deadline to file individual income tax returns (usually April 15, or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday). However, occasional observances in the District of Columbia (like Emancipation Day) can shift the filing deadline for everyone, effectively giving a short extension in those years.
Key points:
- Tax Day itself: not a federal holiday; offices generally remain open.
- When the deadline moves: if April 15 falls on a weekend or a DC-emancipation-day holiday observed that week, the due date can shift to the next business day.
- Practical impact: most people file by April 15 or request an extension if they need more time.
