Illinois revenue officials say residents won’t be able to file their 2013 income taxes until the end of January, which is a two-week delay. The Springfield State Journal-Register reports the delay follows a similar federal postponement. Refunds and the April 15th filing deadline aren’t affected. The Internal Revenue Service is delaying the start of the tax-filing season because of last year’s government shutdown that furloughed workers who were programming and testing tax-processing systems. Now, state and federal returns can be filed starting January 31st. Sue Hofer is a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Revenue. She says the two-week delay isn’t expected to cause problems in Illinois because “very few people file in January anyway.” Employers have until Jan. 31 to give employees W-2 forms.
