Did You Know?? Dealdine April 17

[John of PA]

Did you know that the tax deadline this year is NOT Monday April 16, but is Tuesday April 17th due the the Wash. DC holiday of Emancipation Day.

[Bucky]

I think that is only for a few states ( New England area) and the District of Columbia (DC). The rest of us will be taking a well deserved day of rest on the 17th.

The IRS announced today in a quick alert that the deadline is Apr 17th because Apr 16 is a legal holiday in D.C.

QuickAlerts from IRS today

The Internal Revenue Service announced today, Taxpayers across the nation
will have until Tuesday, April 17, 2007, to file their 2006 returns and pay
any taxes due.

Taxpayers will have extra time to file and pay, because April 15 falls on a
Sunday in 2007, and the following day, Monday, April 16, is Emancipation
Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

The April 17, 2007 deadline will apply to any of the following:

- 2006 federal individual income tax returns, whether filed electronically
or on paper.

- Requests for an automatic six-month tax-filing extension, whether
submitted electronically or on a paper Form 4868.

- Tax year 2006 balance due payments, whether made electronically (direct
debit or credit card) or by check.

- Tax-year 2006 contributions to a Roth or traditional IRA.

- Individual estimated tax payments for the first quarter of 2007, whether
made electronically or by check.

- Individual refund claims for tax year 2003, where the regular three-year
statute of limitations is expiring.

Other tax-filing and payment requirements affected by this change are
described in IRS Publication 509, Tax Calendars for 2007, available at the
IRS web site at http://www.irs.gov/publications/p509/index.html.

Additional information is available in the IRS News Release # IR-2007-15.

Deadline

I think that is only for a few states ( New England area) and the District of Columbia (DC). The rest of us will be taking a well deserved day of rest on the 17th.

That is what I want to believe. Unless the news media makes a big deal out of it I'll keep saying April 15th. I do not want to encourage the people who want to come in on 5:00 of the last day.
