The IRS announced on January 28th, that individual filers who use form 8863 for Education Credits (Hope Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit and other Education Credits) have to wait until at least ‘Mid February’ before filing. The IRS notice, along with a listing of other forms that can’t be filed until late February or early March can be found at this link. Be sure to check it out to see when you can file your return.

Looks like tomorrow is going to be a big day for e-filing returns so expect some delays. Also, the IRS announced earlier there would be delays in processing returns – see my previous blog post for details.

If you need some assistance this tax season, don’t hesitate to contact me – information is below.

Cheers!
