When Are 2012 Taxes Due? Tax Deadline in 2013

When Are 2012 Taxes Due? Tax Deadline in 2013 January 14, 2013

Normally taxes are due on April 15 each year, but sometimes that date falls on a weekend or a holiday (which happened in 2012).  This year, however, taxes are due on April 15, 2013, which falls on a Monday.

April 15, 2013 is also the deadline for making a tax extension, so if you need more time to complete your taxes this year, be sure to file an extension.   This year, the extension will allow you to wail until October 15, 2013 to file your taxes – but only if you file the extension form!

When Can I File My Taxes in 2013?

If you’re eager to get a tax return, you can file right away, but the IRS won’t accept a tax return until January 30th.  You can still start the process in Turbo Tax, but don’t expect the IRS to get your refund done in January!

If you’ve used Turbo Tax in the past, all of your information is saved in your profile, which will make the filing process much easier for you this year.

Also, remember that you can contribute to a Roth IRA for last year until April 15th!  The good news for 2013 is that you can contribute an additional $500 to your IRA! The Roth IRA contribution limit is $5,500 for 2013.

When Will My Tax Refund Come?

The IRS isn’t the fastest organization in the world…but luckily the e-file service speeds up the process significantly.  Some tax filers can even see a tax refund in as little as 8-14 days.  But don’t expect a speedy return, especially if you plan on sending in your tax forms via snail mail.

Why I Use Turbo Tax to File

I’ve been using Turbo Tax for over 5 years now and I absolutely love it.  Even when our tax situation changed with additional business income, Turbo Tax made it extremely easy to file my taxes on time and correctly.  I think of it as “GPS” for taxes.  It’s definitely worth spending a little bit of money if you don’t qualify for the free version of Turbo Tax.  Good luck filing!
