Reminder: E-File Closes November 18. Returns will need to be filed on paper.
Taxpayers, including those in disaster areas, who want to file a 2016 tax return electronically have a little over a week left. To prepare the e-filing system for the upcoming filing season, shutdown for the Form 1040 series begins on Saturday, November 18, at 11:59 a.m. ET. As a result, any taxpayer needing to file a tax return after November 18 must file on paper.
