Did you know your taxes aren’t due on April 15 this year? It’s true. April 15 is a Sunday, so like many banking activities, the due date slides to the next day. That’s not all, though. Because of a special holiday in the District of Columbia - Emancipation Day - April 16 is also not an OK due date. So this year, our income taxes are due on April 17. An extra two whole days to do our taxes - just what we need!

Now a caveat: the April 17 due date applies to your federal income tax, but your state tax might be different. It’s quite possible state taxes are due on the 16th, for instance, in those states that don’t celebrate Emancipation Day. Make sure to check your own state’s tax forms to be sure.
