MANY INVESTORS don't need to rush to file their tax returns early this year. The IRS says it will be mid-February before it can complete processing returns from taxpayers reporting capital gains or losses on Schedule D. The agency won't even be able to accept electronically filed returns with Schedule D until Feb. 12, a spokesman says. The problem stems from ambiguities in the new tax law, which included major changes in capital-gains taxes. Until those ambiguities were resolved by congressional leaders last October, the IRS couldn't finish redesigning Schedule D or modifying its processing software. An IRS spokesman says the filing problem will affect about 2% of the about 20 million people who file Schedule D. The IRS says anyone filing a paper return should send it as soon as they wish. "We can at least take those returns through the initial processing steps," the spokesman says.
