It's Tax Day, the deadline for most people to file their federal income taxes.
By the numbers: The average tax refund issued in Washington state was roughly $3,300 in 2022, the last year of publicly available IRS data.
State of play: Today is also the last day to request a tax extension, which can give you six more months to file your return without facing a late filing fee.
Yes, but: Any tax payment you owe is still due today, and you'll be charged late payment fees on any amount you don't pay by the April 15 deadline, the IRS says.
The bottom line: It's not most people's favorite day, but procrastination only makes it worse.
