However, in 2011 the IRS is giving you three extra days to file your tax return. This is due to a local-D.C. holiday known as Emancipation Day (celebrated on Friday, April 15). Thus, the tax deadline has been pushed to Monday, April 18, 2011.
More information:
I suspect you mean when is the last day to pay tax, without a penalty. Filing, as you'll see, is a little different. Taxes are paid... by everyone, throughout the year. Basically quarterly (or more).
If you work independently, or even just make income (say, from investments or pension, rather than as an employee), you are required to make estimated payments, scheduled essentially every quarter. Failure to do so will subject you to penalties and interest, and essentially, substantially increase the amount you will pay. This is done by filing/paying on the form 1040-ES... instructions, work papers and examples give you several ways to calculate how much you owe for each payment. (There are many ways it can be calculated.) http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdf
If you are an employee, and that makes up the majority of your income, an amount is withheld from your paycheck and reported to you on the annual W-2. The amounts withheld are your estimated payments. (If you make much money outside of being an employee, you may have to make an estimated payment on Form 1040-ES also.)
Virtually all individual taxpayers must calculate the actual amount they will have due, and file their tax reporting form (normally a form 1040) by April 15 of the year after the one being reported. You claim your estimated payments made as a credit against the tax you owe, and either pay the additional or get the extra refunded.
It is very easy to get an automatic extension of time to file Form 1040. However, that extension is only for the report form itself. THE AMOUNT THAT HAS TO BE PAID IS NOT EXTENDED. Again, you estimate that, make sure it's paid (or failing to do so means there is no valid extension and you are subject to penalties and interest).
The extension request is made on Form 4868 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Income Tax Return).
