Longer than usual acceptance

[molesgra]

is anyone out there experiencing longer than usual accceptance time for Fed efile?

[IRonMaN]

Things tend to take a little longer when we get close to deadlines.  Out of curiosity, how long has it been?

[molesgra]

First return filed at 9:38a CDT, so about 4 hours ago

[IRonMaN]

That's not long enough to worry about yet.  It will come.  Sometimes we all need to show a little patience, which can be hard to do at times.

[molesgra]

I know, but when I am used to seeing 12 minuets for Fed to be accepted, i tend to panic

[IRonMaN]

No need to panic.  Just keep repeating to yourself, serenity now, serenity now.  

Oh crap, that didn't work out too well on that Seinfeld episode.  Scratch that idea.  In the meantime, just stay away from sharp instruments, speeding trains and roofs -------------- you will be ok 😉

Delays at IRS end. We can't blame Intuit for this one.

[vfratiani]

we have had nothing go through all day

[CPATIM1]

Us either

[LIzzy]

We haven't had any efile acknowledgements in 7 hours.  Spoke with Lacerte customer service and they are "working on it".  That is all the information I could get.

I just rec'd 11 acks. Some were about 12 hours pending.
