You should wait until
you receive the form and here's why:
-
Schools are not
required to send the form until January 31st. You may be able to retrieve an electronic copy from your school sooner. Some don't send the paper version until mid-February.
- The IRS is not accepting
e-filed tax returns until 1/23/17. Feb.15 for tax returns that are
claiming Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit.
