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!
went to the irs website today check the status of my return. It came up with this message A refund date will be provided when available. And my return was accepted on Feb 5 2013. What should I do because up until today it was saying processing so what does it mean or do you have an idea of when I will get it thank you.
Hi Tiffany,
I really have no idea when you will get it. I can’t provide you with any more information than the IRS has already given you. I would just be patient. If you really think something is wrong you could try calling the IRS.
I efile on jan 30th and requested a paper check do you know when my refund might get here I keep going to the website but all it tells me is there still pocessing it confuse
Hi Sylvia,
I can’t give you any information beyond what the IRS has told you. But do be aware that if you request a paper check it will take a little longer to get your refund than people who requested direct deposit. The IRS says most people should get their refund in under 21 days. If it still has not been issued by next week you could try giving them a call.
can someone please tell me why the WMR was saying it has been received and being processed since FEb. 14th but now today it say they cannot provide information and say if have question call the number and give reference number 9001..what is the problem with that but when I call the number on phone to check it – it only states that is still processing
Sometimes your bank will hold as well.. So if IRS says a date and you haven’t received its probably at your bank processing.
Its almost 21 days this Thursday and my taxes still being processing.
