Every year since 1955, people have paid their taxes on April 15, except when this date falls on a weekend, holiday, or observed holiday. (In that case, Tax Day is the following business day.) In 2020, the federal government delayed tax day by three months for the first time ever in response to the coronavirus pandemic - and by one month this year. Federal income tax was first established by the Revenue Act of 1861. Its purpose was to fund the Civil War. Over the years there have been several Supreme Court cases that have challenged the constitutionality of income taxes.
To celebrate Tax Day, send in your tax return and relax for the rest of the day. You won’t have to worry about taxes again for a whole year!
