States grant three day grace for late income tax filings
Taxpayers in several states will receive a three day grace period for filing and paying state income taxes due to Good Friday falling on April 45. The change advances the deadline to Easter Monday, with last year income taxes among the top state revenue sources at about 506 million dollars. Wisconsin led in early taxation in 1911, followed by Massachusetts, and by 1840 twenty four states had income taxes. Now 31 states levy such taxes as some repeal or cut taxes during wartime.
