Filing deadline for 2021 taxes is April 18th

This year’s deadline for filing and paying any tax due is Monday, April 18th. Traditionally the deadline is April 15, but this year the Washington, D.C. holiday for Emancipation Day has bumped the IRS deadline day to the 18th.

Taxpayers in Maine and Massachusetts, however, have April 19 as their deadline, since their Patriots’ Day holiday interfered.

No matter where they live, though, taxpayers who request an extension this tax season have a final filing deadline of Monday, Oct. 17, 2022.
