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 was told that since I’m a homeowner and that there are some changes in the tax laws im not allowed to e-file until close to march . Is this true and what is it that is changing? Will it affect my refund?
Hi Jp,
As a homeowner you can certainly e-file a return now if you’d like. However, many of the credits and deductions that benefit homeowners will not be available until the first week of March. You can find a full list from the IRS here: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/List-of-IRS-forms-that-1040-filers-can-begin-filing-in-late-February-or-into-March-2013
Did not have to file taxes last year for 2011, so am I still able to efile return for 2012? I had no income so have no AGI or last years PIN. How will I efile? Please help. Thanks 🙂
Hi Autumn,
Yes, you are still able to e-file. Enter “0” (zero) for the original Prior Year AGI. Do not leave this field blank. However, the Prior Year PIN/Electronic Filing PIN field should be left blank.
Is that 45 additional days tacked onto the 21 already for the initial return or is it all inclusive?
Hi Kelsey,
I think that’s 45 days after they issue it, but nothing with the IRS is definite. It could end up being longer than that.
