AMT Forms begin filing Feb 11th in 6pm drain

updated Feb 8-- AMT Forms begin filing 2-11-08 in the 6pm drain

The following five forms can be filed after the 11am drain on Feb
11th. This is controlled by your computer's system date, so that
on Feb 11th, you can begin creating efiles for these returns.
Please don't efile until after the 11am drain to avoid rejects.

Form 8863, Education Credits

Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits

Form 1040A's Sch 2, child and Dependent Care Expenses for Form
1040A filers.

Form 8396, Mortgage Interest Credit

Form 8859, District of Columbia 1st Time Homebuyer Credit.

The expected increase in volume may result in 11 to 12 hour
delays for acks, particularly during the first week that you
transmit the AMT impacted tax returns.

True.



But until after February 11, the IRS will not accept five forms,
such as the Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits and the home
energy credit.

Why? AMT Fallout.

Tomorrow or Tueday 2/12/08 those forms, which I have seen in VITA,
should be accepted.

Our VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) site is not opening until
the third week of February so the TaxWise software can reflect the AMT
change, whatever it is. Although in 14 seasons, I must say I've never
seen a single VITA client trigger AMT.

Maybe. Maybe not. Ask TurboTax if you're curious.

I do know that the IRS isn't processing certain returns that contain certain
forms or schedules that haven't been changed yet. So even if TT and all the
other OTC software was 100% accurate and up-to-date. The IRS isn't. And
donchaknow, they are the ones who count the most.

They claim they'll be able to process those forms by February 11th.

Whatever happened to the gross fanfare exuded by both political parties
late last year about "fixing" AMT? Has Turbotax adjusted for it? Is
turbotax up to date yet?
