Guess what? You have an extra three days to file your taxes this year. April 15 falls on a Friday, but because Emancipation Day (a federal holiday – no I never heard of it either) is Friday the 15th, you have until Monday, April 18 to file this year. Also, because October 15 is a Saturday this year, if you file an extension you have until October 17 to file.
On a personal note, my daughter Kirsten was honored as Student of the Month at her middle school. This apparently was announced on Friday, but she forgot to tell us until yesterday. Congratulations Kirsten. Oh, she also pulled almost straight As last semester as well (B+ in PE). I would have told you when we got the report card a week ago, but I forgot.
