Tax Deadline Extended by 2 Days
UNDATED - Good news for procrastinators - you have two additional days to file your income taxes this year.
The Internal Revenue Service says, because April 15th falls on a Sunday, and Monday, April 16th is Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C., this year's tax deadline is Tuesday, April 17th.
Of course, the IRS encourages you to e-file your return as the best way to ensure getting a faster refund.
