    Does anyone know when Digital gets Patriot's day 1996 off?  It is not in
    VTX as the previous note shows.

Patriots Day, if observed at all, is a "location choice" holiday.  It is
designated as such by many (but not all) Massachusetts (and a couple of NH)
sites - I don't know if any other sites honor it.  That's why it's not listed
in the VTX calendar.

I think it's next Monday (the 25th).

    I believe that Patriot's Day is April 15 this year.  It is the
    same day as the 100th running of the Boston Marathon.  I live in
    Hopkinton (where they start the race) and there is much hype aroung
    that day.

    It is April 15.  (For those of us who live in MA, we get an extra day
    to file our taxes, too.)

    RE: -.1
    
    I suppose I should have been more specific, but I thought my request
    was sort of obvious; I was looking for a date, not an explanation of
    how the "Location Choice Holiday system" works.  Nevertheless I will
    rephrase:
    
    Does anyone know the exact date the Massachusetts Digital sites are
    observing Patriot's Day?
    
    Most people I talk to seem to think it's April 15, but I have heard one
    or two mentions of April 22.  It should be the closest Monday to April
    19, which would imply the 22nd.  I wish this were published somewhere.
    
    I guess another way to ask this (for you runners out there) what is the
    date of the Boston Marathon.

    Oopps, note collision.  I should have typed faster.
    
    .6 was in reference to .3.
    
    Thank you to .4 and .5.

    Believe the Patriot's Day holiday is "officially" 4/19 ... The 
    day the Massachusetts Digital Sites usually select is the 3rd
    Monday in April ... hence the 15th this year.
    
    

The Patriots Day holiday is officially Monday the 15th.  I don't
remember whether the rule is "third Monday" or "Monday on or before
the 19th" or something else.

This year, Patriots Day is officially on the 15th, and not just for
DEC but for the whole state.

Not only Massachusetts residents get until the 16th to file their
Federal taxes, but also all those whose filing center is Andover.
See the instructions for the 1040 form.

    I believe the 3rd Monday in April is the formula
    used by Massachusetts to determine Patriots Day.
    Pats day USED to be the 19th, but no longer.
