Had same issue trying to e-file a 2019 return (10/18 3:30pm EST) -- Intuit needs to have this re-opened immediately!

Note: was able to e-file a 2017 return & 2018 return at 3pm EST today (10/18).

"Intuit needs to have this re-opened immediately!"

It was due to IRS maintenance, though, based on the IRS website.

I am having the same issue with Ohio return that was rejected -- tried to resend and it indicates product is not available?????

@Ron42661 

You were sending on the 17th?

Man, I am loving this bookmark:

"At this point the 2019 Ohio State Income Tax Return forms for Tax Year 2019 (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2019) can be e-Filed together with the IRS Income Tax Return until October 15, 2020. If you owe IRS or Ohio taxes and you did file an extension, do not miss this deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. If you have not filed any of your 2019 tax returns, you can e-File them until Oct. 15, 2020."

Was submitted on October 15, rejected for an error - corrected and resent and now it bounced

Have you read this article:

I had a CT tax return that got rejected and i tried to file the return and I could not file it. It said 10/18 would be the last date to file before maintenance.. WHAT IS GOING ON. 

Riddle me this...IRS gives 5 days to correct and refile a rejected return but PS shuts down the ability to efile before that deadline....what kind of good business practice is this? they wouldn't allow efiling on the 18th although PS said that was their deadline!

"but PS shuts down the ability to efile before that deadline"

@taxes96786 

No one anywhere stated that PS shut down the ability to efile. Don't start rumors.

System issues and maintenance issues and "conversion" that isn't anything to do with efile, is not "PS shut down" efiling. No need to rile up the masses when that isn't happening. This is Peer Users. Play nice.

Thanks.
