Tax day falls on April 17 this year, due to a little-known holiday in the District of Columbia. Every year, millions of Americans scramble to file their income taxes before the filing deadline â ordinarily April 15. But procrastinators get a reprieve this year: The 2012 deadline falls on Tuesday, April 17. This year, April 15 falls on a Sunday.
