2013 Tax Filing Season Starts Later Than 2012’s

The IRS announced this month that 2013 tax returns can begin being filed on January 31, 2014, a day later than this past year. Citing the need for more time to program their computer systems for the coming filing season, coupled with the 16 day government shut down in October, more time was needed this year to be ready for the nearly 150 million tax returns processed annually.
