We strongly
encourage you to transmit your e-files at least two hours before the midnight
(midnight Eastern time) deadline.
The nation’s tax deadline will be April 17 this year – so taxpayers will have two additional days to file beyond April 15.
The nation’s tax deadline will be April 17 this year – so taxpayers will have two additional days to file beyond April 15.
As the April
17th deadline approaches, the processing volume at the IRS will increase daily.
Both return volume and return size will affect processing time. While you are
accustomed to receiving your Federal acknowledgements within a one hour
time-frame, that turnaround time will increase as the deadline approaches. You
may see your acknowledgements take from 2 to 4 hours, and possibly longer.
This is why we suggest that you send returns periodically throughout the day. This will help spread out the volume and also help eliminate some of the 'deadline rush' which also impacts IRS processing.
Taxpayers have until Tuesday, April 17, 2017 to file their 2017 returns and pay any taxes due. The deadline is later this year due to several factors. The usual April 15 deadline falls on Sunday this year, which would normally give taxpayers until at least the following Monday. However, Emancipation Day, a D.C. holiday, is observed on Monday, April 16, giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day to file. By law, D.C. holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Monday, Oct. 15, 2018 to file.

For calendar
year Estates and Trusts, file Form 1041 and Schedule(s) K-1 on or before
April 17, 2018. For fiscal year estates, file Form 1041 by the
15th day of the 4th month following the close of the tax year. For
example, an estate that has a tax year that ends on June 30, 2018, must file
Form 1041 by October 15, 2018. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday, file on the next business day.
