US individual tax day is typically April 15. If that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or DC Emancipation Day (April 16, or the Friday or Monday it is observed), the deadline moves forward to the next weekday that is not a DC holiday. DaysUntil encodes that IRS §7503 pattern, counts to the computed local date, and still tells you to confirm on IRS.gov — statewide disasters can move it further. This is not filing advice. In 2026 the deadline stays Wednesday, April 15.

FAQ

When is tax day?
Usually April 15. If that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or DC Emancipation Day (April 16, or the Friday/Monday it is observed), the deadline moves forward to the next weekday. 2026 stays April 15. Confirm on IRS.gov before you file — disaster relief can move it further.
Is this legal or filing advice?
No. Deadlines move for weekends, DC Emancipation Day, or declared disasters. State returns may differ from the federal individual date. Verify the year you are filing on IRS.gov, not only on this countdown.
Why might another site disagree?
Some pages always show April 15. Others skip the Emancipation Day shift or move Saturday backward (the wrong direction). We follow IRS §7503 — next weekday that is not a DC holiday — and still tell you to confirm.
Does every state share this date?
Federal individual returns follow the IRS deadline. State returns can use a different day. A state-only clock is not this page.
Why April 15, and why does DC matter?
Congress moved the individual deadline from March 15 to April 15 in 1955 to give the IRS and taxpayers more time. Unique to this page: because the IRS is in the District of Columbia, DC Emancipation Day on April 16 can push a weekday April 15 filing day forward when the 16th is the observed holiday — the 2016 pattern, which a naive “weekend only” widget misses.
What about 2028 and 2029?
April 15, 2028 is a Saturday, and the Emancipation Day interaction moves the federal individual deadline to Tuesday the 18th in our helper. April 15, 2029 is a Sunday and moves to Tuesday the 17th. Still confirm on IRS.gov.
What should I do if my state gets disaster relief?
IRS disaster postponements can move a county or a whole state off the national pattern this helper encodes. When that happens, believe IRS.gov and your state department of revenue, not a countdown that cannot see a new FEMA notice. Use a custom date for the postponed deadline and leave this page as the national default.
