W9s, 1040s, K-1s - it's the lingo of the month. The good news for taxpayers is that the IRS is pushing income tax deadlines back to Monday, April 18th, due to Washington D.C. observing Emancipation Day on Friday, April 15th instead of typically being celebrated on April 16th. So procrastinators get the benefit of a few extra days to complete their returns this year. Taxpayers can also take advantage of the multiple Tax Day deals and freebies throughout the OC area. From discounted specialty cocktails to free shaved Hawaiian icees, there is something for you to celebrate about.
