I am curius of why estimated taxes are due April 18 and not April 15

[question everything]

Usually they are delayed if the 15 falls on a weekend and some states have additional delays..

1. Religion

4. Gotta accommodate those poor oppressed Christians.

6. Uh, also a Jewish holiday (nt)

9. Passover isn't a Federal holiday.

As far as I know, the only religion-related Federal holidays are Christian

13. Good Friday is not either

2. I wondered about that too,

maybe because Friday is "Good Friday", although Monday is the "official" easter holiday.

Don't see why it matters, and the post office is closed Monday.

[question everything]

11. If the post office will be closed Monday, then thousands of filers who wait to mail their 2021 tax

returns will not be able to do so..

No, not an official holiday

3. Because "Emancipation Day" is a holiday in Washington D.C...

From: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2022-tax-filing-season-begins-jan-24-irs-outlines-refund-timing-and-what-to-expect-in-advance-of-april-18-tax-deadline

April 18 tax filing deadline for most

The filing deadline to submit 2021 tax returns or an extension to file and pay tax owed is Monday, April 18, 2022, for most taxpayers. By law, Washington, D.C., holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in the same way federal holidays do. The due date is April 18, instead of April 15, because of the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia for everyone except taxpayers who live in Maine or Massachusetts. Taxpayers in Maine or Massachusetts have until April 19, 2022, to file their returns due to the Patriots' Day holiday in those states. Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Monday, October 17, 2022, to file.

7. Emancipation Day is not Juneteenth

Emancipation Day (April 15) is a holiday in D.C.
Juneteenth is in June, not April.

8. Corrected, thanks. n/t

[question everything]

10. Is it always on April 15? But we do use April 15 for tax purposes on other years?

[PoliticAverse]

12. Emancipation Day in D.C. is on April 16th, however because April 16th is a Saturday this year...

workers get off on Friday, April 15th.

14. Thanks
