What are the revised dates for filing 2022 taxes?

[DawnC · Accepted solution]

The filing deadline to submit 2022 tax returns or an extension to file and pay tax owed is Tuesday, April 18, 2023, for most taxpayers.  By law, Washington, D.C., holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in the same way as federal holidays. The due date is April 18, instead of April 15, because of the weekend and the District of Columbia's Emancipation Day holiday, which falls on Monday, April 17.

Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Monday, October 16, 2023, to file.   

California storm victims now have until Oct 16, 2023, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.   Disaster area victims in Georgia and Alabama also have a 10/16/23 filing deadline.

Yes. Very clear. The problem occurred because media recounts about the extended dates for filings obscured  the necessity for requesting the extension first, or else buried it elsewhere in the text.
