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!
wasnt posted to my account this morn.. will keep checking and post..
Hey guys, I e-filed my taxs on Jan/20/13 and on Jan/25/13 I checked and it went from “Pending” to “Accepted” so it looks like I will be getting my refound very soon. Oh yeah and I did my taxs with Turbo Tax and did direct deposit. If I remember I’ll let you guys know when I get my money….That’s if I’m not out partying lol
So I e filed very early this year on Jan 10. As of right now my status still says pending. My girlfriend did her taxes about a 6 days ago and she got an email saying her return has been accepted early and mine is still pending even though I e filed 2 weeks before her? Did I file to early? Does anyone else have the same issue?
Hi Jason,
I don’t think you filed too early (but you can always check with your tax preparer just to make sure). The IRS is doing an early test run and so a small number of returns will get chosen before the Jan. 30th start date. While generally the IRS processes returns in a first-come, first-served manner it is not a hard and fast rule. Some returns are simply easier to process or they may have chosen certain types of returns for the test. It is impossible to say. I would just assume that your return will be processed on or soon after Jan. 30th along with almost everyone else’s.
My return was accepted today, the 25th.
I e-filed with tax act about a week ago knowing that it wouldn’t be accepted until Jan 30. But, I got the e-mail saying I was part of the test group and my return was accepted by the irs today. I have no idea when I will get my refund deposited but, I am grateful I was part of the test group.
