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!
Hey Big Bird – as long as you are in default with a loan through the Dept of Ed, you can forget about a direct deposit refund, speaking from experience. You might ask for a paper check via mail; and if you do slide through the cracks, consider yourself extremely lucky. I encourage you to look into the many programs that D of E offers to get you out of default status; which will at least clean up your credit rating. The D of E is very willing to hold your hand and help you through the process. Option B: wait for Elizabeth Warren to push a new student loan forgiveness law through congress. My personal belief ( hope ) is that if Option B ever happens in our lifetime, those of us who have already made an effort to get out of default, may get first dibs on forgiveness. My theory is that they will mothball those office spaces used to service us, to cut costs. As opposed to stopping a revenue stream that comes from people paying who are currently able to pay their debt. You got nothing to lose by looking into these programs before you contact D of E to find out what you might have to pay on a your newly calculated payments ( it might be zero !) through these programs. Either way you can expect them eat your refund each year; and consider it your annual contribution to your self- administered repayment plan. 🙂
Say goodbye to Rapid Refund aka RAL. If you were use to recieving that refund check withing 24-48 hours, you WILL NOT be able to do that this year. IRS stopped allowing banks to issue those checks to folks. They said the banks were adding on several huge fees to those refund checks and IRS didn’t like that. So, now you will have to wait up to 21 days to recieve your checks and that is if you are E-filing and using direct deposit. If you are filing any other way, you will have to wait 6-8 weeks to recieve your check. I hope this helps everyone.
thanks
Anybody knows when is the date of first refund?
