The due date to file taxes is April 18th for Federal and Massachusetts tax filing. In fact, most states are posting April 18th as the tax filing due date. Just a reminder if you still have to file your 2016 tax return, April 18, 2017 is the due date. This tax filing deadline is so you can file your return or pay any taxes you owe. For those who are not done with your tax preparation, we suggest you file for the automatic six-month extension. Also, you can pay the tax you estimate to be due. The due date is normally April 15, but the 15th falls on a weekend and the next business day, April 17, is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in Washington D.C., so the due date in 2017 is April 18.
