The extra days are because of the Emancipation Day holiday in Washington, D.C., which falls on Friday, April 15.

Arizona taxpayers can still make a tax credit donation to public schools. The limit is $200 for a single person or $400 for a couple filing jointly. If you are looking to donate to Flagstaff Unified School District, the paperwork is available on FUSD's website, www.fusd1.org.

According to information from the Internal Revenue Service, the department expects more than 150 million tax returns this year, with 70 percent of taxpayers getting a refund. Last year, the IRS issued 109 million refunds with an average refund of $2,797.
