Today is The Day To File Your Taxes

This year we all got a three day extension to file our taxes thanks to Abraham Lincoln, kind of.  Here's a recap from the Associated Press that explains a little better.  After you read it...go and get it done!

The filing deadline was delayed until midnight Monday because the District of Columbia observed Emancipation Day Friday. By law, local holidays in the nation’s capital affect tax deadlines the same way federal holidays would. States generally follow the federal deadline.
Emancipation Day marks the occasion when President Abraham Lincoln signed a law ending slavery in the District of Columbia. Lincoln signed it April 16, 1862, more than eight months before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which eventually led to all slaves being freed.
April 16 fell on Saturday this year, so the holiday was observed April 15, the traditional tax filing deadline.
