*Note: When the tax deadline is on weekend or holiday, the deadline is moved to the next business day. The federal tax deadline in 2023 falls on April 18, rather than April 15, which is a Saturday. Monday, April 17, is Emancipation Day, a holiday recognized in the District of Columbia, where the Internal Revenue Service is headquartered. The federal extension deadline for 2023  is October 16, since October 15 falls on a Sunday. Most states usually follow the same calendar for state income tax returns
