We need some examples of "proper results." What does your data look like, what are the expected results and what are the actual results?

It was created on 05/01/2012 tax_date was back dated to 04/30/2012, but i would think they results should still be returned properly from the first query also.
Is it an option to change your query to include times, just to make sure you're picking up the right values ?
You shouldn't ever assume values if you're looking for exact results, specify exactly what you want:
