Can I Still File My 2013 Taxes?

Although the Tax Deadline to file 2013 Tax Return has passed, you can still file your 2013 taxes!

The final deadline to e-file 2013 taxes was October 15, 2014. However, you can still prepare a 2013 tax return with RapidTax!

If you requested an extension on your 2013 tax return, and you still haven’t filed your 2013 taxes, you’re officially late. That means you may have to pay penalties and interests.

Avoid Paying Penalties  & Interest

If you have a tax liability from your 2013 taxes, you’ll want to keep in mind that the longer you wait to file, the more you’ll end up paying the IRS in late penalties and interest. Late fees include the failure-to-file penalty, failure-to-pay penalty and interest.

Each of these fees grows larger with every day that your return goes unfiled or your tax liability unpaid.

However, if you are due a refund, you will never be charged penalties and interest for filing late.
