April 15 is traditionally known as the annual deadline for filing federal income taxes. However, this year taxpayers have a few extra days. The IRS has pushed the filing deadline to Tuesday, April 18 because April 15 falls on a Saturday. Why not Monday, April 17? Because that’s a holiday – Emancipation Day – in Washington, DC.
