Filing is NOT active now....and not all of the tax forms have been finalized in the software yet...SO DO NOT FILE NOW.
The TTX software "might" allow you to file on or after 6 Jan (IF she only has simple forms in her tax return).
BUT
....if you do, it will just sit on a TTX server until the IRS starts pulling files from those servers towards the end of January....(.or maybe even February, since the IRS hasn't announced when they will actually start yet)
IF you file before the IRS actually starts taking files...you cannot get it back to make any corrections that you may discover when companies, Banks, financial institutions etc. send out their tax forms.... if you file early, you will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject whatever you initially filed.
....If the IRS accepts the file then you will be stuck going thru the messy "Amendment" process, that won't be allowed to be done for several weeks. IF they Reject the original filing, only then can you simply correct whatever needs correcting, and re-file.
Do Not file any tax returns before February...March is safer. (yeah...personal opinion)
