valriconni Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I cannot find the release dates for business returns on the irs.gov site. Have those been delayed also to Jan. 30th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 From today's CCH e-fx News: Business returns: The original start date was Monday, January 7, 2013. This is delayed to a date yet to be announced by the IRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taxed Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just finished sending an e-mail to my business clients who like to file early (like in Feb) to wait until April this year because of these issues. I may have to work 24 hours in April unless IRS pushes back the 4/16 deadline because of the delayed start. I hope they give us some additional time at the backend!

rfassett Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I am not making any changes in my scheduling. I suspect the returns will be pretty much workable from a local perspective, just not able to be efiled. I will prepare the returns as normal but with the caveat that they can not be efiled until ???. Of course, a very thorough review of the return will need to be done before it is efiled. But that is the approach that i am taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxMan60601 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 It will be a real massacre if they don't update the deadline accordingly! "Of course, a very thorough review of the return will need to be done before it is efiled." Furthermore they wont process returns dated before Jan 30.

rfassett Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 "Furthermore they wont process returns dated before Jan 30" True - so part of the review process will be creatng the efile which would bring the date on the return to the current date. I do not have a concern about that one iota though because I can count on one hand the number of returns that I do in January. The biggest concern I have about the pushed back date is it is getting very close to the date when I usually start filing. And historically, the couple of week lead time I was afforded (between the efile start date and the date I start filing) allowed you early efilers to get all of the bugs worked out before I got involved. I like it that way. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
