Tax day moved for everybody- not April 15th...

Taxes this year are due April 17th for everyone. Not the 15th, which is a Sunday. Not the 16th, even though your forms will most likely claim this. But Tuesday, the 17th.

Why? you might ask. I mentioned that us Massachusetts residents get until the 17th because of the timing of Patriot's Day. Of course the rest of the country is not patriotic and/or does not celebrate our football team (even in shameful defeat) with a day off, but our esteemed representatives in the District of Columbia are taking the day off to celebrate Emancipation Day so the entire country gets an extra day to pony up our taxes. Don't just take my word for it (ever)- check it out yourself.

I will post soon about why every extra day helps, even if you are getting a refund...
