My accountant said that the IRS has extended the filing date for another 2 days till the 19th. Is this true? I can't find anything that says it is true.

Yes it is true depending on where you live. The east coasters affected by the storm have been extended to the 19th. I called the IRS myself just to confirm. Make sure "April 15th storm" is written across the top margin as per the IRS. Good luck and don't fire your accountant .. lol!

The 48-hour extension is available to those in the Northeast affected by the April 16 storm. Need to mark your return accordingly.
The deadline for Mass state tax returns is also extended by 48 hours.

Certain areas on the east coast effected by the storms have been extended to 4/19 at midnight.

No. The deadline for filing a tax-due return is today (April 17). If you owe money and do not pay it by today, there will be penalties and interest assessed to you as well.
However, if you do NOT owe any taxes, or you are getting a refund, you can actually file anytime up until April 2010. You have three years to claim your refund.
The homepage of the IRS clearly states in multiple locations that the deadline is today. I'd fire my accountant if I were in your shoes.

NO, they extended it two days until today the 17th, from the normal 15th deadline.
