Your Tax Question - 059

ATTN: MY COMPUTER SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING - LET"S GET THIS TAX YEAR MOVING!

Dear John, I've heard that there is a wait on doing taxes this year. Is this true? Thx, Shirley

Hi Shirley,

If you

1. itemize your deductions

2. claim the teacher out of pocket expense

3. or claim the higher education credits

the IRS has said that you are to wait until February 14 to file your taxes with them. The reason for the delay is that Congress did not get their stuff wrapped up until December 17th so the IRS was forced to change these systems until after that time.

Thank you,

John
