Can you E-File After October 15?

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!

  1. Looks like i was right, one of my clients today the IRS has approved there refund and will be dd on the 8th. it looks like if your asking for more that 8000 you will have to wait a little longer for the IRS to approve your refund. the refund was for 2477 and theirs went right through. The other 3 people taxes ranges from 8000 to 12000 have not been approved i suspect that since it is such a large amount for a standard w2 with EIC (Earned income credit) that they are double checking, they might be there still on Friday. Like i said before, if not in this room, they have always for me at least, update there dd date on wheres my refund on Wednesday, like they have done today. By the way i checked at 11:00 pm Tuesday and nothing, until today at 8:30 am 2/06/2013.

  2. When are they going to accept e-files of NYS returns? I did my federal and state through h&r block and got my federal return back already but they rejected my state??? I was told by H&R block this is because they arent accepting e-files yet. Is this true? Also i got charged 30 bucks to e-file my NYS return, but it says NYS should be free anyone know anything about this?

  3. So anyone that had thier taxes directed into family acct did this work for you?
    My mom did my taxes through turbo tax this year i didnt have a checking acct so it was dd in my moms
    Anyone else go through?
    Thanks

  4. Every one needs to calm down it take at least a week before anyone should receive a refund. I guess there are people saying that they have already, i believe they are lying or some other crazy instance has happened to them. I believe with all the research that Feb 8 people will start receiving state refunds and possibly federal refunds. The average witched seems to be every tax year is that is your refund was accepted on the 31st of Jan, you will get it this Friday or next Friday the 15th of Feb. If you have not received a refund by then and wheres my refund is not saying what is going on, I would call them and ask. For the rest of us who wants to be rich for a little while the irs mostly DD on Friday so calm down they’er working as hard as they can and mostly 9 – 10 of you will go smoothly. Have a great tax year….

  5. If I did my. Taxes on feb 1st and I checked the irs received it the same day is my check subject to arrive in the tax office by the 8th or before

    1. Hi Lex,

      The IRS says that most people will have their refund in less than 21 days. It’s possible that your refund could arrive on Feb. 8th but if I had to guess, I’d say it will be between the 10th and the 21st. Check the Where’s My Refund tool for more information.
