When Is the IRS Tax Day 2018?

Income taxes have been due on April 15 since 1955, except for select years when the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. This year the tax deadline fell on a Sunday meaning it would normally be moved to Monday. However, April 16th is Emancipation Day, a federal holiday.

“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.”
