Is extended due date for 6-30-11 PYE April 17th?

Is extended due date for filing the 5500 for the 6-30-11 PYE, April 17th?

[TPAMan]

I would be inclined to say April 16th.

From IRS site:

Taxpayers will have until Tuesday, April 17, to file their 2011 tax returns and pay any tax due because April 15 falls on a Sunday, and Emancipation Day, a holiday observed in the District of Columbia, falls this year on Monday, April 16. According to federal law, District of Columbia holidays impact tax deadlines in the same way that federal holidays do; therefore, all taxpayers will have two extra days to file this year.

I can't see anything that specifically addresses this question though.

[TPAMan]

I need a new calendar! No Emancipation Day on mine!

Since the 5558 filing was due by 1/31/2012, wouldn't the due date be the date listed on the 5558? The IRS should approve a 5558 filing with 4/17/2012 listed, but they will also approve it if you request an earlier deadline.

For plan year end June 30, 2011, we had until April 17, 2012 to file the Form 5500s. This is per the "Application for Extension of Time to File Certain Employee Plan Returns" where the IRS letter states "The due date to file your return is extended to APR. 17, 2012".
