JRS Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 From Drake Software: IRS will officially announce in a press release today that filing season has been delayed. Here are the particulars: E-file for individual (1040) returns will begin on January 30th, delayed from January 22nd.There will be a “controlled launch” the week before that when we can send some live returns … that was delayed from January 14th. We do not know when or how many returns can go.Some forms will not be accepted when e-file starts on the 30th … it is anticipated that returns with those forms can be filed beginning in late February or early March. IRS expects to release that list of forms today.IRS has not set a date for when they will accept business returns, which was originally scheduled for January 7th. It is expected that business returns will start around the same time as individual returns.This impacts paper return processing as well. IRS will NOT process any paper returns prior to e-file start date.In fact, forms and instructions with the new legislative changes will not be released until January 22nd. So, most returns prepared prior to that date would not be valid anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
