That was eliminated for 2017 taxes
BUT...then it was added back, as it was just passed in the last budget bill on 9 Feb, and retroactively included and will eventually be available for your 2017 taxes. BUT The forms needed in the tax software may take a month or more to get changed to include it (Blame that on congress).
First the IRS has to now reprogram their computers in the middle of a busy tax season,
....and then they have to notify the software companies how they want them to implement the changes.
.........then each company's software has to be RE-programmed, and to be tested with the IRS before it can be trotted out to the customers. (Mid March...maybe but that's a wild guess)
