When the tax deadline is on weekend or holiday, the deadline is moved to the next business day, and 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.

SALT LAKE CITY, STARTUPS AND TAXES

According to Forbes, Utah offers a unique blend of elements in its technology ecosystem: a large network of people who have access to other people, knowledge, and capital. Strong technology and entrepreneurship programs at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University provide a strong talent base for startups, and there is a deep network of venture capital firms in the city. Salt Lake City also combines natural beauty with a low cost of living, making it very appealing to early-stage companies. 

The most important taxing authorities for companies in Salt Lake City are: 

• Utah State Tax Commission 
• Salt Lake County Treasurer 

Salt Lake City startups have fewer tax deadlines than companies operating in many cities; other than the Federal and State April 18th deadline, the other major dates revolve around the sales and use tax payments, the annual business license, and the property tax deadlines. See all the dates above.
