Deductions & credits

The tax law that affects the medical deduction was just signed into law (makes it 7.5% of AGI for everyone for 2017 and 2018).  The official IRS Schedule A is still the 2016 version.  Until the IRS publishes the 2017 version with the changes and then issues the 2017 e-fileing specifications for Schedule A to tax software companies (like TurboTax) the form cannot be finalized.   Everyone is waiting for the IRS.
