Itemizers may file Feb. 14
Friday, January 21st, 2011 | tax
Beginning Feb. 14, the IRS will start processing both paper and e-filed returns claiming itemized deductions on Schedule A, the higher education tuition and fees deduction on Form 8917 and the educator expenses deduction. As we explained in a prior post, the late passage of the Tax Relief Act in December gave the IRS too little time to reprogram their computers. While filing season started for most taxpayers on January 15, returns containing these deductions face the processing delay.
This does not mean that you must wait to have your return prepared. We are ramping up our tax prep season, and we can prepare your return and hold it until the IRS is ready to accept it for processing. We look forward to working on your return soon!
