"The problem it that PS is encouraging us to start efiling on the 28 to avoid traffic jam when the IRS starts receiving in February 12, but with this problem, it is better to wait."

They are not encouraging.  They are offering the service because there would be too many people here whining that "such and such software is accepting returns, why can't Intuit".  Personally, I'm not hopping on that bus because I don't want to have to deal with the issues if that bus misses a turn and goes off a cliff.  I'm patient.  I'll gladly wait for things to open up ---------------- and then give it a little more time ------------- I sleep better at night going that route.
