I don't know if this was posted. People where I live were not aware of this change.

"More than 13 million taxpayers with tax returns affected by late enactment of the Alternative Minimum Tax “patch” in December will face delays with filing and refunds. The only people affected are those using any of five specific forms related to AMT calculations:

Form 8863, Education Credits
Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits
Schedule 2 (Form 1040A), Child and Dependent Care Expenses for Form 1040A Filers
Form 8396, Mortgage Interest Credit
Form 8859, District of Columbia First-Time Homebuyer Credit"

I thought this was funny
"How do you know if youÂ’re affected by AMT-related delays?"

"Paper: For people using paper returns, you know you are affected if you are using one of the five forms."
