I mailed my taxes but I forgot to include form 8863 (for an education credit), what do I do now?

If you took the credit and simply forgot to include the form 8863 showing how the credit was computed, just sit back and relax, but keep a copy of the form.  The IRS will eventually send you a letter asking for the form (and may not send your full refund until you send them the form).  If you send it before they ask for it, you are likely to confuse them and get it really messed up.\n\nIf you did not claim the credit, then file an amended return (after April 17) and take the credit them.  You will have to wait 8 to 12 weeks for the refund on the amended return (1040X).

Go to www.irs.gov.  There is information on what to do in this situation\n\nIRS TAX TIP 2006-22\n\nYou should receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from each of your employers for use in preparing your federal tax return. Employers must furnish this record of 2005 earnings and withheld taxes no later than January 31, 2006 (if mailed, allow a few days for delivery).\n\nIf you do not receive your Form W-2, contact your employer to find out if and when the W-2 was mailed. If it was mailed, it may have been returned to your employer because of an incorrect address. After contacting your employer, allow a reasonable amount of time for your employer to resend or to issue the W-2.\n\nIf you still do not receive your W-2 by February 15th, contact the IRS for assistance at 1-800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information handy:\n\n• The employer's name and complete address, including zip code, the employer’s identification number (if known), and telephone number,\n• Your name and address, including zip code, Social Security number, and telephone number; and\n• An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and the dates you began and ended employment.\n\nIf you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.”  Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.\n\nYou still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you cannot get a W-2 by the tax-filing deadline, you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, but it will delay any refund due while the information is verified.\n\nIf you receive a corrected W-2 after your return is filed and the information it contains does not match the income or withheld tax that you reported on your return, you must file an amended return on Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.\n\nForms 4852 and 1040X and their instructions are available on the IRS Web site, IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

Ok, to get your tax return, they had to go to court and get a judgemnet and also get a garnishment of your federal tax returns.\n\nYou should have been notified fo at least one, most likely two court dates and had numerous papers form the school and from the courts.\n\nOk with that said, you can go to the court and review the file of all the evidnece that they have.  A court ordered garnishment can not be stoped without a court order from that court.\n\nSo if you find they didnot have proper evidence or some reason to reopen the case, you will have to file in court for a review of the garnishment.  And present your case to the judge normally requiring an attorney

You need to call the IRS and get a copy of your transcript for 1993.  If you filed, you'll have the proof.  If you didn't, then you'll have to file--and pay the penalties and late fees.

You probably qualify for the Lifetime Learning tax credit or you may qualify for an educational expenses deduction (you can take one of those but not both). If you're getting a refund, taking the deduction is better than taking the credit because the credit is non-refundable, but the deduction will lower your taxable income. If you owe a lot, the credit usually works out to be better. Qualified educational expenses are pretty much just tuition and fees (not books). See the 1040 instructions (the link below goes to a PDF version) to find out if you qualify for the deduction (page 34) or the credit (page 40). Form 8863 is the one you file for the credit, and it has more instructions on whether you qualify or not. Good luck!

Just follow the instructions on the form--if she didn't assign you to itemize it--you're in the clear.  I hope she gave you the publication/handbook that goes with the form, if not check the link below.\n\nIt's extremely easy--it really is, just follow the steps, each step corresponds to a page in the publication---so if you're on step 17, turn to page 17 of the publication.  Read it and follow the simple steps, it is all broken down for you, including what is your tax rate---you'll find that on the back of the publication, between the columns.

You should contact your local (and, in the US, your state) tax authorities.  These are the people who may require sales tax and returns from you.  If you have not done the returns before, they should have no problem with getting you the forms and giving you some help to get them completed, so you can do them right.  Keep notes of the numbers you call, the people you talk to, and the advice they give you, because mistakes might happen, and those notes may help you avoid being penalized for it if they do.

Try your local Post Office, Library (they have forms during tax season)...

You should be getting a letter from the IRS about where the money went. That is standard practice. If not, the obvious one would be an outstanding Student Loan. They will take your money if you have not paid them. Have you done your research? Call the IRS and ask.

You better talk to a tax person.  If you've filed already, and took the deduction, then you'll have to amend.  But if you went to file and realized your mistake, they can help you back out your money.
