What is the start date for filling your taxes for 2007?

Answer 1

You can start now, but cannot file them until January, 2008. If you are employed or have investments, don't expect your w-2s or 1099's until late January. The recent changes in AMT laws are likely to delay processing by several weeks, particularly if you are expecting a refund.

Answer 2

There is a delay to Feb 11 for filing if you use one or more of the following forms:

• Form 8863, Education Credits.
• Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits.
• Form 1040A's Schedule 2, Child and Dependent Care Expenses for Form 1040A Filers.
• Form 8396, Mortgage Interest Credit and
• Form 8859, District of Columbia First-Time Homebuyer Credit.

Otherwise you can file by mail starting Jan 1 or efile starting Jan 14.

Answer 3

As soon as you have all of your W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest statements, student loan interest statements...etc. When you have all the documentation you need for 2007, you can file. You usually don't receive everything until mid-Jan, first of Feb.
