April 15th is a day etched in our minds as the deadline to file your income taxes. But this year, we'll all get a three day extension.

April 15th falls on a Friday this year and also happens to be Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia. So the IRS extended the deadline to Monday, April 18th this year.

By law, holidays in D.C. impact tax deadlines the same way federal holidays do.

The IRS also suggests e-filing as the best way to ensure accurate returns and faster refunds.
