IRS Extends Filing Deadline For Taxpayers by Two Days
The IRS moved the filing deadline to April 17 next spring due to a Saturday that would normally push the date. About 65 million individual taxpayers are expected to benefit as changes from Congress this year do not affect the new forms. The extension applies to 1967 tax returns filed in early 1968, and a box will let filers contribute $1 of their tax to a presidential campaign fund, though the provision takes effect next year.
