I received efile rejections today.  When will the IRS and California start accepting 2019 efiles again?

Are you a new preparer?  IRS shuts down Efiling every year and doesnt reopen until the end of January.

Agree with Anna and Lisa.

CA is a standalone state.  Don't think FTB ever shut down e-filing like the IRS.  Since CA e-filing doesn't go through the IRS' system, you should be able to e-file 2019 CA returns as usual, AFAIK.

That could be another Intuit-imposed restriction:
