Tax Day is Tuesday. Here's what to know about filing, extensions.

Taxes are due April 18 — three days after the normal April 15 deadline — giving procrastinators a short reprieve to file income tax returns or an extension this year.

The big picture: The regular deadline falls on a weekend and Washington, D.C.'s Emancipation Day is Monday.

By law, D.C. holidays affect tax deadlines for everyone the same way federal holidays do, the Internal Revenue Service says. The holiday marks the end of slavery in the nation's capital.

More than 168 million individual tax returns are expected to be filed, with the vast majority of those coming before the tax deadline, the IRS said.

Meanwhile, April 18 is the last day to make contributions to a health savings account or a Roth/traditional individual retirement account for the 2022 tax year.
