The deadline for filing a tax return for the year 2017 is Tuesday, April 17, April 2018, not the traditional date of April 15. In the 2018 year, 15 April falls on Sunday, and this, as a rule, postpones the deadline for submitting applications to the following Monday - April 16. However, this Monday will mark Liberation Day - a legitimate holiday in the District of Columbia, which defers the deadline for filing an application on Tuesday, 17 on April 2018. In accordance with tax laws, legal holidays in the District of Columbia affect the application deadline throughout the country.

The IRS is also working to strengthen processing systems to protect taxpayers from identity theft and return fraud. Partners IRS and Summit continue to improve these guarantees to further protect the filing of your tax return in 2018.

The IRS also reminds taxpayers that they must keep copies of their tax returns for the previous year for at least three years.
