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!
I filed on 01/30/13 and i went on Wheres my refund today and it says “we cannot provide any information about your refund” what should i do ????
Hi Shannon,
At this point I would be patient. The IRS had a massive backlog of returns to process starting on the 30th. You were at the very bottom of that pile and it’s likely that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. If there’s still no update by the end of the week then you can try contacting them.
i filled on the 21 of january got a email from tt saying congradulation we got your tax return excepted early by the irs on the 26here it is the 4 of feb and still no check suppose to be direct deposite whe i check the wmr it say your return is still being processed a refund date will be provided when available what does all this mean am i close to getting a check it was just saying still processing a couple of days ago now it through on the whole date will be provided when available.
Hi Thomas,
Even though your return may have been accepted on the 26th, the IRS likely did not begin processing it until the 30th as this was the official start of the season. On top of that, the IRS says that taxpayers can expect their refunds in under 21 days. I would say you can expect your refund between now and February 21. This is perfectly normal.
I filed my taxes yesterday at noon and my taxes are still processing, is there need to worry?
Hi Paula,
I doubt there’s need to worry. Processing both at private companies and at the IRS can often take a few days, especially at the beginning and end of the season.
This is BS, I e-filed on 01/20/13 it was accepted by the IRS on 01/25/13 today is 01/04/13 and the IRS is still processing WTF should I call the IRS or keep waiting?
Hi Alex,
I don’t recommend calling the IRS. Even though your return was accepted by the IRS, it likely was not processed until January 30th, as this was the day that the season actually started. On top of that, the IRS estimated that you will get your refund in “under 21 days,” probably sometime between February 10 and February 21. If you call them and complain they’re likely just going to tell you to be patient.
Hello everyone, here is my update::
I e-filed with my local tax service in my nieghborhood on 01/31. I filed with 2 dependents and my refund will be over $5K. I agreed to the direct deposit. I checked irs.gov today and it shows that i was approved and my refund will be deposited this thursday 02/07. So I hope that helps. IRS is really moving fast this year.
