The new date is April 17th. This is due to the Easter Holiday this weekend. If you live in Massachusetts the date is April 18th. This is due to the 18th being Patriots Day.

The due date is April 17 2006. And it is not an extension. See the 15 lands on a Saturday which is a weekend and a tax year can not end on a weekend has to end on a week day to get on files in order. Some offices don't open weekends and give us prepares more time to catch up on all the returns.. And believe me its not because of the holiday.
