Why is Tax Day April 18th?

Wondering why we had three extra days to get our taxes done this year? After all April 15th did fall on a Friday, which was a regular work day, right?

The tax code says that tax forms are due April 15th unless it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Holiday. None of these conditions applied.

However, Emanacipation Day, an official public holiday in Washington DC, which is usually celebrated April 16th, was moved to April 15th, a Friday, instead of Saturday, to give folks a day off. In recognition of this holiday, Tax Day was moved to April 18th.

To those who wait to the last minute - get to the post office today!

We at BuyWisconsinLand.com want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!
