The Fed E-file form is now available. Yes, you could download the 8879, but it would not populate without the e-file info being filled in. I, like Jack, am wondering why everyone is in such a hurry. Unless a client absolute KNOWS they will not receive any more 1099 or W2 forms, I would not consider filing a return this early.

>>My students will now tell you that she should get a part time job and scrape in a couple bucks, so she can get a ridiculous EIC refund!<< Maybe you'd better hammer it through another 30 times, until they understand that a dependent can not get EIC. Also, we don't know if she is old enough to claim EIC. Most important, since tax benefits should never drive financial decisions that are otherwise untenable, we don't know if the child is old enough to avoid childcare costs exceeding income from the new job.
