Earlier this week the IRS announced that the deadline for filing tax returns has been pushed to May 17.

In response, a lot of states have followed suit and extended their deadlines, but some are still April 15, or they might have different dates altogether.

Below are the dates for all 50 states, as they stand right now (source: lifehacker):
