IRS Announces 2014 Filing Season Delay

The IRS announced today that the 2014 tax return filing season will be delayed 1-2 weeks to allow adequate time to program and test tax processing systems following the 16-day federal government closure.  The originally scheduled starting date for the 2014 tax filing season was January 21, 2014.  Based on a 1-2 week delay, the IRS expects to start accepting and processing 2013 individual tax returns no earlier than January 28, 2014 and no later than February 4, 2014.  For the complete announcement from the IRS, click here.
