Last day to file taxes in the U.S. for 2023

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Today is Tax Day – the official last day to file your taxes in the U.S.

Tax Day is a little later this year. Normally, it falls on April 15th.

It was changed this year so it wouldn’t fall on a weekend.

One tax expert believes that caught many filers by surprise.

He also says more Americans owe federal taxes this year.

Refunds are much smaller, too.

“Because we don’t have the stimulus anymore. So, that cuts down on the refund amount. So yeah, a lot of people are owing,” said Roderick Payne, General Manager of Liberty Tax and Loans.

He also says it’s been a pretty busy day for Liberty Tax and Loans, and that many people have waited until the last minute to file.

But you can still head in today, or online, and get it done.
