I submitted my last return yesterday (10/14) afternoon (Pacific time) after the clients finally signed their 8879's.

The 1040 has yet to be accepted by the IRS, so the CA return is being held by Lacerte.  Does the submission date also work for California (even if Lacerte is holding it pending US acceptance), or should  I try to file it separately today?

Strangely, their FinCEN 114's, which usually take 48 hours for acceptance, have both been accepted already.
