How it’s calculated
Dates follow the IRS rules in Publication 509: when a deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in Washington, D.C., including Emancipation Day on April 16, it moves to the next business day. States apply the same rule to their own due dates. Dates are worked out from those rules, so they update each year on their own.
Business dates assume a calendar tax year. The IRS often postpones deadlines for people and businesses in federally declared disaster areas; check the IRS disaster relief page if that applies to you. Local tax dates are not included.
Example
In 2027, July 31 is a Saturday, so the second-quarter payroll return (Form 941) is due Monday, August 2. Virginia’s May 1 due date is also a Saturday, so Virginia returns are due Monday, May 3.
