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!
@ Miranda 32 pages @ big bird yes the student loans will b took n its call a offset it will go to them first if there is a remaining balance u will receive the rest
How do i check to see if mines got accepted early i filed on 1/17 h&r block about to really piss me off
Hi Lisab,
You need to contact H&R Block. You can probably see it by logging back in to your account.
ALL 2012 TAX RETURNS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED BY THE IRS UNTIL JANUARY 30TH. EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM OR TAXPAYER TELLS YOU THAT IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, DOES NOT MEAN IT HAS BEEN PROCESSED BY THE IRS. IT’S BASICALLY “PENDING” TO BE PROCESSED UNTIL JANUARY 30TH. NO EARLY BIRDS IN 2013 DUE TO A NEW BILL PASSED BY CONGRESS.
Has n e one received deposits from the IRS yet I’m still waiting
If I e-file and give the information for direct deposit does that give the IRS access to my bank account?
I’m due a refund, but I have student loans in default. I don’t know whether my refund will be intercepted (does this happen automatically with loans in default, or is it more random?). Anyway, if they are, they are. I just don’t want to give the IRS the ability to freeze my checking account.
Hi Big Bird,
I’m not sure if they can take your refund to pay off student loans. Here’s some more info about refund offsets. Depending on who your lender is (I know often it’s the Dept. of Education) student loans might qualify as a federal agency non-tax debt: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html
