This year, you have a little more time to file your income taxes. But now is not the time for any more procrastination because Tuesday evening is the deadline:
Q: Why is the income tax-filing deadline on April 17 this year and not April 15?
A: This year, April 15 falls on a Sunday and Monday, April 16 fell on the District of Columbia's Emancipation Day. By law, District of Columbia holidays are treated like federal holidays when it comes to tax deadlines.
