I know this doesn't help the situation, but our office has not received IRS confirmation for an e-filed return sent on Tuesday.  However, a return e-filed today was accepted right away.   The return sent Tuesday still lists the status as being sent to the IRS.  

I was just told by tech support that it's the IRS' problem and not Intuit's. They (the IRS) is supposedly working on fixing a line of code. Does that synch with what other people have heard?
