But this year everyone gets a brief reprieve in that this year your taxes do not have to be 'in' until Monday April 18!
Wow!
Amazing.
But why?
Well, I checked various calendars and saw no national holiday, no president's day, no Secretaries day, or whatever.
So, WHY has there been this reprieve from April 15 to April 18?
Well, it seems that there is a holiday after all.
What is it?
An article on the net provided this interesting reason:
"The traditional tax return filing deadline is April 15 of each year, but the IRS has approved April 18, 2011 as the tax filing deadline for 2010 Tax Returns and extension requests in observation of Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia."
