when is tax day

In the United States, Tax Day—the deadline for filing individual income tax returns—is typically on April 15. However, if April 15 falls on a weekend or a holiday, the deadline is moved to the next business day. For 2026, Tax Day is on Wednesday, April 15. Note that holidays such as Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C., and Patriots' Day in some states can also affect the exact date, sometimes pushing it to April 17 or April 18. For the current year 2025, Tax Day was on Tuesday, April 15.
