April 15
IRS filing deadline
April 15 is the annual deadline for filing federal income tax returns in the United States.
The date looms large in American life, prompting last-minute rushes to accountants and post offices: I always wait until April 15 to file.
When April 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day.
