About this countdown
This countdown targets Tax Day on Thursday, April 15, 2027, set by the rule: Set each year by official proclamation. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Tax Day is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. Tax Day is the deadline for filnig federal individual income tax returns, normally April 15. It is an observance, not a holiday: nothing closes, and the date only moves when April 15 falls on a weekend or on Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in Washington, DC.
