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!
We our filing our taxes thru h&r block on the 24the and although there not releasing until the 30 how much later before we get the refunds. And also we have never done direct deposit only the emerald card. Is it faster to do direct deposit then the emerald card?
Hi Melissa,
The IRS is saying that most people will get their refund in “less than 21 days.” I certainly wouldn’t expect it in anything fewer than 10 days and remember that this is the IRS and it’s not uncommon for it to take up to 30 days or more. I’m not familiar with the emerald card, but as far as I know direct deposit is the fastest way to get your refund.
I am on disability since last year. I don’t know if I need to file plus have kids.
Hi Anna,
You need to file a return if your income is greater than these threshold levels: http://www.rapidtax.com/blog/index.php/do-i-have-to-file-a-2012-tax-return-2/. But even if you don’t have to file, I still recommend doing so. You may get a refund back, especially if you have kids.
Anybody know when to file with state
Hi Brooke,
It depends on your individual state. Each states makes its documents available and starts filing on its own date. Most will begin around the same time as federal e-file. Check your state’s tax website to find out.
