This year’s tax day is going to be on April 18, 2016, instead of the usual April 15 date. The reason for this change in the tax date is because this year April 15 will fall on Emancipation Day which is a federal holiday. Any person who wants an extension for filing their taxes “must file Form 4868 before April 18.” The new deadline for anyone who successfully filed for an extension will be October 17, 2016. People who are owed a tax refund will be given an extra three years to file their taxes to claim it. It is a good idea for people to stay on top of getting their tax returns filed on time and hopefully this article will be of some assistance to those who need to remember the deadlines.
