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!
Someone tried to use my fiance’s SS# last year to get her refund, the case has been going on since February 2011 and still have yet to see any money. Would this effect 2012 tax refund?? Can she even file for a tax refund if the case is still open? or are the two years have nothing to do with each other?
Hi Vladim,
She should be able to file her return normally, but it’s up to the IRS as to whether they go forward with processing it. In some cases of identity fraud they will freeze certain social security numbers. If you’d like a really specific answer, I would call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
Actually you can e-file as soon as Jan 10th mother works for the IRS there hasn’t been a posting to the website yet…..
Hi HRBlock-agent,
Actually, the date has now been pushed back to January 30. You can find a posting on the website here: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Plans-Jan.-30-Tax-Season-Opening-For-1040-Filers

Hi Amber,
It’s probably best for you to ask Turbo about that. What I can tell you though is that everything has been pushed back. The IRS won’t start processing returns until January 30 now: http://www.rapidtax.com/blog/index.php/irs-moves-start-of-tax-season-forward-to-january-30th/
I have mine all set to go with TurboTax and it says I can submit to the IRS on the 10th of Jan.
Hi Jennifer,
The IRS just recently announced that e-filing as been pushed back even further to January 30. That’s probably the date that Turbo will accept the return: http://www.rapidtax.com/blog/index.php/irs-moves-start-of-tax-season-forward-to-january-30th/
