Tax Extenders: Form 8917 Tuition and Fees for 2018

Hey there,

 

I know this form isn't available yet because the IRS is still trying to slough through 2019 and got the tax extenders lumped in as well.  I know I will have to amend my tax returns and I'm pretty stoked to get money back but what will the process be when this tax form does become available?

 

Thanks!

As of today, the Form 8917 Tuition and Fees deduction is available for both online and desktop versions.

  • If you are using the TurboTax CD/Download software program, open TurboTax and select Check for Updates from the Online menu near the top.
  • If you are using the online version, it's an automatic update when you sign in and out.

Thank you for the update, I went into my 2018 TurboTax software and made sure it was updated. I selected the option to amend my return but it still says Form 8917 is not available for 2018.

    Agreed, this does not seem to be available for 2018 yet. When will it be made available by TurboTax so I can get my amendment for 2018 completed?

      I also need to amend 2018 for the tuition and fees deduction. Please update the software soon!
