Why April 15 as tax deadline?
EVERY year since I can remember, even before I was born, annual tax deadline has always been April 15. My father who is also a CPA had been in Public Practice since I was small. I can always see the frenzied pace in the office as the tax deadline nears. But as a young child I was not perturbed having got used to it since I am always at his office. I am looking forward more to the birthday celebration of my father whose birthday is on April 16—a day right after the April 15 deadline. So it is a double celebration of sorts – end of a tax season celebration and the birthday of my father.
