I know this is likely due to the silent beast that is the IRS at current, but is Lacerte able to provide any official updates about when 1040 e-filing will be shut down? I see talks of December 26 but nothing official, and I'd rather not get too comfortable planning on that date. We really try to give the folks who have lollygagged this long a hard deadline for e-signing/remitting their 8879s, because nothing is worse than finally getting back an 8879 that's been languishing only to have to wrangle them once again to now paper file.... 

It would be great if Lacerte could at minimum publish an alert within the software to let us know it's still pending, rather than require us to try to pry the information from them. Typically by this date we only have a couple days left to e-file.
