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 your site do free Efile? Is it just for Fed or can you also do State too?
Hi Fawn,
Yes we do have free e-file. You can see our various pricing packages below. We do offer state returns as well, but they cost $19.99.

ITS MY MONEY! AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!
Can I still get my tax return in the mail?
Hi Lynda,
The IRS has stopped mailing returns to people. If you prepare your taxes using RapidTax, we will fill in your return for you as well as all of the necessary documents. If you would prefer to do it yourself, you can download a copy of the 1040 here:

Also some public buildings such as post offices and libraries still have paper copies of the forms.
When will i be able to get my agi pin number or self delect pin from the irs automsted system
Hi Mack,
You can find your AGI on your 2011 tax return. If you didn’t file or you don’t have this information, you can request one here from the IRS beginning January 7.

I filed my taxes myself last year using Freedom Tax a subsidy of TurboTax. I did not make copies of my return because I did not have a printer. Can you tell me how would I get my AGI or self selected pin without a copy of my 2012? Also, is there any way I can get a copy of my 2011 income tax return since I filed online myself?
Hi Dineitha,
The first thing I would do would be to try contacting Freedom Tax. They might be able to make your 2011 return available for download through their site or email it to you or something. If that fails, you can always request a transcript of your 2011 directly from the IRS or through a service like RapidTax. Check out these links for more information:

If you’ve never used a PIN before, the easiest thing to do might be to request one. You can find info about that here:
