The e-file deadline date was October 15th, 2013 for 2013 tax returns, but you can still prepare your return with RapidTax
You can’t e-file after the October 15 deadline, but you can prepare your 2013 taxes with RapidTax. Once completed, you’ll print, sign and mail your taxes to the IRS.
The first tax deadline for 2013 taxes was April 15, 2014. Those who requested an extension had until October 15, 2014, to file.
As of, October 15th the IRS has shut down the e-file system. Although you can no longer e-file, you can still prepare and file your 2013 taxes.
File your Late 2013 Taxes ASAP!
If you still need to file a 2013 tax return, you’ll want to do so as soon as possible. Why? If you have tax due, filing late means paying penalties. The longer you wait to file, the more you’ll end up handing over to the IRS. Late fees include;
- failure-to-file penalty: 5% of the additional taxes owed amount for every month (or fraction) your return is late, with a maximum penalty of 25%
- failure-to-pay penalty: 0.5% (1/2 of 1%) of the additional tax owed amount for every month (or fraction) your tax remains unpaid, up to a maximum of 25%
At the very least, file your late tax return. If you have trouble paying your tax due, the IRS is willing to work with you.
If you’re expecting a refund from your 2013 taxes, you won’t face any penalties but you’ll still want to file sooner rather than later. In fact, after April 15, 2017, you’ll no longer be able to claim your 2013 refund.
Don’t procrastinate! File today and put taxes out of your mind until the 2015 tax season!
I have a lot of my clients file right before oct 15th so they have money for Christmas. Plus they get their money back from 3-10 business days because the IRS can look at the return much faster
You’re saying that the IRS won’t accept electronic filing of 2011 returns that are getting a refund — after October 15. 2012? That doesn’t sound right.
Hi ClockPhi,
That’s correct. You can no longer e-file 2011 taxes.
REPLYING TO Cosmic Zamboni COMMENT: yes it may take as long as 21 days if there are any problems which if any problems with a paper check refund will take longer than 21 days thus the point no matter what you get your refund sooner with direct deposit!
The IRS accepts 2011 corporate e-files through 12/26.
According to IRS, direct deposit refunds from efiled returns may take as long as 21 days.
