Due to the government shutdown the IRS has announced there will be a delay of 1-2 weeks in the 2014 tax filing season. However, this is a delay for the start time of the IRS to process returns, not the filing deadline. The IRS was supposed to begin processing returns on January 21st, with the delay this date will now be pushed back until sometime between January 28th and February 4th. Taxpayers should be aware that even with this change the filing deadline for individual tax returns remains April 15th.
