If you?re the type of person who likes to wait until the last minute to file your taxes, congratulations: You have two more days to procrastinate.
The Internal Revenue Service announced Wednesday that 2011 federal tax returns will not be due until Tuesday, April 17 this year.
That?s because April 15, traditionally tax day, falls on a Sunday this year. In addition, Monday, April 16, is Emancipation Day, a holiday in the District of Columbia.
This is the second year in a row that Uncle Sam has given taxpayers extra time to?file.
Last year, Americans were able to put off filing their federal taxes until Monday, April 18, because Emancipation Day fell on Friday, April 15.
For those of you who prefer to get your taxes done early ? and your returns faster ? the IRS also said Wednesday that it will start accepting electronic filing on Jan. 17.
In all, the IRS is expecting more than 144 million individual tax returns this year.
