The tax deadline is quickly approaching. This year, it’s NOT April 15. Here’s a rundown of the most important tax deadlines and dates to know!
2022 tax filers beware. For most, the tax deadline is on Monday, April 18, 2022.
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), holidays impact tax deadlines in the same way that federal holidays do. So, this year, instead of the April 15, 2022 deadline, most taxpayers are getting a few days extra to file their taxes thanks to Emancipation Day.
There’s also an additional holiday, Patriots’ Day, which is celebrated in Maine and Massachusetts. So, that means that taxpayers in those states have until April 19, 2022, to file their taxes.
