Education Credits Refund Holdup

[neilbrink]

Does anyone know if the IRS is holding up refunds because of the Education Credits? I had a client that called me about her delayed refund from her return which included the American Opportunities Credit. I know we had to input a lot more information this year, and I was wondering if the IRS was doing some additional checking and verifying.

No pattern to the delayed refunds. I have clients that received their refund in 7 days. Some in 10 days. Another in 25 days. Some 28 days and counting. No pattern at all.

95% yes on my home standalone machine. Program opens, returns open, returns roll-over and e-files create faster. Print Manager only prints what I tell it now. Still loses the checkmarks in e-file manager where I select files, if I close the program.

90% yes on the network at the firm. I was even able to use the program on an XP machine.
