Method

Each date is computed from the rule in IRS Publication 509 rather than stored as a fixed date, then shifted to the next business day if it lands on a weekend or a federal holiday. Holidays are computed for 2027 specifically. April also accounts for DC Emancipation Day, which is why the individual filing deadline is sometimes later than April 15.
