With employers required to provide their employees their W2and 1099 forms by January 31, Americans have more than three months to file those dreaded tax returns. But for the procrastinators among us, we have good news. The deadline has been changed for 2012, giving taxpayers three extra days to file.
Generally the filing deadline is April 15 of each year. But when the deadline falls on a weekend, it’s pushed to the following Monday. Another day is added when the deadline falls on a federal holiday.
