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!
Does the 10-21 rapid refund include weekend days? or is it business days only? If I was to file tomorrow, do think i will have my rapid refund by Feb. 11th??
Hi Asia,
The IRS says that you can generally expect your refund in 21 calendar days, which means total days not just business days. If you filed today February 11th is the earliest you could expect your refund. Likely it would be sometime between the 11th and the 21st.
I didnt get any emails saying anything about a test group but feb 1, 13 was on wheres my refund , oh I hope so Things to pay as we all do Im sure ! Did everyone who got this deposit. Date get a email saying test group & wondering why turbo tax dont show this information ? Just wondering

Im hoping so anyone else get a deposit date ? Havent recieved email stating this date but IRS wheres my taxes gave this so ? Post please if you got same information , fingers crossed !
I efiled my tax return January 18th and it was accepted on the 25th. I have received an acceptance email on both my federal and state taxes, I have checked the irs website and it doesn’t say anything about it being accepted even though I know it was, in about how long do you think i will receive my federal return? I have heard for a check you can get it in as little as 10 days. Is this true? I have some outstanding bills that i need to pay and need to know in a round about way when i will more than likely be receiving my money. And yes i efiled but i did not do direct deposit due to no bank account, i stay in Albuquerque nm. Thank you for any help
Hi Trey,
You could try using the Where’s My Refund tool on the IRS website:http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Where's-My-Refund-It's-Quick,-Easy,-and-Secure.
All I can tell you is that though your return was accepted on the 25th that doesn’t mean it was processed on the 25th. In all likelihood it was processed yesterday when the season officially started. For a paper check, I would estimate that you’ll probably get your refund 2-4 weeks from now, but maybe longer.
I was also part of the test batch, however, it still says on the WMR, processing….maybe next week..
