Taxes are due April 17 this year as April 15 falls on a Sunday and April 16 is a holiday in the District of Columbia . You may be eligible for the Telephone Excise Tax refund so if you haven't filed yet you may want to talk to a tax professional. Also, if you are owed a refund you can choose up to three accounts held by banks, mutual funds, brokerage firms or credit unions to split your refund in. If you elect to receive your refund by direct deposit double check to make sure you entered the correct routing and account number(s).
