Due to last minute tax changes by Congress, the IRS has announced that some tax returns will not be processed until February 14. If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (mortgage interest, taxes paid, charitable contributions, etc), claim the higher education tuition and fees deduction, or claim the educator expense deduction, you will not be able to e-file until the 14th. For our clients, we will finalize returns but hold off e-filing until we get the green light from the IRS.
All other returns can be filed immediately.
