When can you file certain forms?

The IRS can only act a quickly as Congress.  Since Congress worked literally until the 12th hour making changes to the tax structure, the IRS is still working on updating forms and instructions.  If you want to know which forms will be ready and at which dates, click on the link to the right on this blog page that says IRS General Information Home Page.  That link will take you directly to the IRS.  Then click on the orange/red section that says Forms and Pubs.  At the top of the next page is a link to all the forms still under programming.  Most will be ready by the first of March and most people don't use them.  So it's very possible you can file right now, if you haven't already done so.

As always, if there is something specific you want to know, leave a comment and let me know.
