When are taxes due?
Real estate and personal property taxes of $100 or more are due in 2 installments – one due July 1 and the other due the following January 1. Real estate and personal property taxes less that $100 and motor vehicle taxes are due in one installment July 1. Supplemental motor vehicle taxes are due January 1.
Procrastinating with taxes is a familiar phenomenon, but if you don’t pull it together before the deadline, things can get tricky. If you know you won’t be able to file on time, or don’t have the money to pay, don’t ignore your taxes altogether. File an extension form on time and look into a payment plan. The IRS charges interest and does collect.
The deadline for all taxpayers to file their 2006 federal returns and to pay any taxes due is April 17, 2007. The IRS extended the filing deadline on January 24, 2007, because April 15 falls on a Sunday in 2007, and the following day, Monday, April 16 is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.
