IRS Tax Education Credit Delay - Acadiana's Multi-Media News Station

If you plan on claiming certain education credits this tax season, you'll need to wait until mid-February to file your return.

The IRS says it needs to update processing systems before the form can be accepted.

This impacts you if you are taking advantage of the American opportunity tax credit or the lifetime learning credit.

Other education benefits like tuition and fees and student loan interest deductions can still be claimed starting Wednesday.
