Critical diagnostic

With every return I prepare, I'm getting a critical diagnostic that states "direct deposit of refund is disallowed because the return is being filed after November 30, 2020".  Why am I getting this when obviously all 2020 returns are going to be filed after that date?   Anyone else running in to this?

Good Morning All, 

I was unaware that this diagnostic was being populated in the 2020 Tax Program, and see how my response was lacking information.  I will make sure this gets addressed asap. 

Thanks!

Update - 

For TY20 - This has been corrected on the program update 41.0127, please update to latest version and this will resolve the issue and diagnostic will no longer trigger.

Cheers!

@IntuitBettyJo  - That is a swell answer, but I'm pretty sure all 2020 returns are going to be filed after November 30, 2020.  Is Intuit not aware of the 5 bazillion posts that have shown up here about that issue?

Or does Intuit just not care?

"With every return I prepare"

I'm just guessing, of course, that you prepared and then tried to E-file them, too. All over the forum, the news, and even at the top of this web page you are told e-filing doesn't open until Feb 12th.

Intuit doesn't seem to have updated the program to know it should be considering if a 2020 form has been filed before November 30, 2021.

No, I have not tried to file them - well aware that filing isn't open yet.    This just shows up when I check diagnosis.

"This just shows up when I check diagnosis."

The recommendation is to keep waiting, because the program isn't fully updated, yet.
