This year, the tax day is not on the standard due date of April 15. This is because if the tax due date falls on a holiday or weekend, the IRS usually rolls over the same to the next business day. This year, April 15 is Emancipation Day, which is a holiday in Washington D.C. this has pushed the federal tax deadline to April 18. Again, April 18 is Patriot's Day- another holiday celebrated in Maine and Massachusetts. Therefore, residents in these 2 states have an extra day to file their taxes and for them, the deadline was pushed to 19 April 2022
