2019 individual e-filing

[MarvinE]

I completed an individual 2019 return in early December, with several states attached, and attempted to e-file it then.    It was rejected on the grounds that:

"The IRS and states have temporarily stopped accepting transmissions of TY19 individual e-filings.  The IRS and states will not accept transmissions of 2019 individual e-file submissions until January"

I have attempted follow-up filings on January 5,  January 12, and Jan 19 for this client all with the same message.  Does anyone know of when such 2019 returns may be e-filed or what an alternative may be?

Many of know it is 2/12/2021.

You may want to consider signing up for IRS newsletters, so you'd have this info as soon as IRS issues it.

The Feb 2021 date is for returns for 2020.   My client was late so we are dealing with the 2019 return that will not go through the e-file process.  Thanks for your reply anyway.

Feb 12 is for all individual efiling-all years.
