Taxpayers have a few extra days to file their taxes this year thanks to how the 2023 calendar falls.
While taxes are normally due on April 15 every year, this year there will be an exception as April 15 falls on a weekend. In addition, April 17 is recognized as Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C., and all Washington D.C. holidays affect tax deadlines across the United States, meaning that tax returns will be due on the following business day, April 18, according to CNET.
IOWA'S TOP INCOME TAX RATE STILL EXCEEDS MOST STATES
Exceptions to this April 18 deadline include Iowa and Virginia, where income tax returns are due on May 1. Additionally, Delaware's income tax returns are due on May 2, and Louisiana residents must file by May 15.
Beyond those exceptions, the IRS has pushed back the tax filing deadline to Oct. 16 for disaster-stricken residents in California, Alabama, and Georgia. The areas that qualify for this delay include most of the counties in Northern and Central California, several counties in central Alabama, and the counties of Troup, Meriwether, Pike, Spalding, Henry, Butts, Jasper, Newton, and Crisp in Georgia.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming have no state income taxes.
Any taxpayers who need to file an extension on their taxes can do so by using the IRS's Free File program, a public-private partnership between the IRS and several tax preparation companies. This extension can be received by estimating one's tax liability, filling out and sending in Form 4868, and paying any amount that the taxpayer owes, according to the IRS.
