Here are some pics comparing the two Mangekyo Sharingan's..

Itachi Mangekyo Sharingan		Kakashi Mangekyo Sharingan

I don't think that Itachi was lying to Sasuke. But maybe the ancient scrolls don't contain all the information. Maybe there is more then one way to get the Mangekyo Sharingan, or different forms of it.
Kakashi is an intelligent ninja, so with a combination of being exposed to Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, some training over the time jump and maybe some research or investigation, it looks like he has come up with his own version of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

I believe that Kakashi has got a version of the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is different from Itachi's but it also very similar too.
The fact that the 3 commas have joined to form a whole pupil in both cases, and also Kakashi can use (although not properly) Tsukuyomi, the genjitsu technique, makes me believe that he has got a Mangekyo Sharingan.

BUT, Kakashi has to use a hand seal to active his Mangekyo Sharingan, where as (as far as I know), Itachi doesn't.
They also have a different appearance.

Something else that comes to mind. Around the time that Itachi and Kisame come to Konoha, either during the battle with Itachi or after it, Kakashi says that the more you use the Mangekyo Sharingan, the more it impares your normal vision and sends you blind.
This makes me think that Kakashi already has his Mangekyo Sharingan at this point in time, which is really early on in the series. Otherwise how could he know that it sends you blind from using it too much? Does he have access to the Uchiha ancient scrolls? Or did he just get that information from the battle with Itachi?

Also, when was the last time we saw Itachi without his sharingan on? Not since he killed his clan.
So is Itachi going blind? Who knows.

But, in the manga, when Kakashi reveals his Mangekyo Sharingan, he says something to the extent of, that he has obtained it during the time skip or something to that effect.
So I don't know what to believe.
