WHATS UP WITH FILING DEADLINES THIS TAX SEASON?
When can you file your 2012 tax return?
The IRS has been delayed in the production of forms and programing of their systems for filing your tax return for 2012. Since Congress just extended and changed tax laws in early January this has delayed the filing process.
Who can file starting Jan. 30?
The IRS anticipates that the some simple returns can start filing January 30, 2012, regardless of whether they file electronically or on paper. The IRS will be able to accept tax returns affected by the late Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch as well as the three major “extender” provisions for people claiming the state and local sales tax deduction, higher education tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction.
Who Can’t file until later?
Any taxpayers who plan on claiming Education Credits (form 8863) will not be able to file their return until mid- February.
If you use any of the following forms in your return, you cannot file your return until late February and early March:
- Form 3800 General Business Credit
