Tax Day 2022

April 15 is traditionally tax deadline day for the Internal Revenue Service. That's not the case in 2022. The change has to do with a holiday in the federal capital. Saturday, April 16 is Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C. Because the holiday falls on a Saturday this year, it will officially be observed on the closest weekday - Friday, April 15 and therefore closing city and federal offices in D.C. That means the tax day deadline is pushed back to Monday, April 18, 2022. Residents in Maine and Massachusetts must file by April 19, since April 18 is the observed day for Patriots' Day.
