How can I find out when State of Hawaii will begin accepting e-filed returns? I searched google and could not find the answer.

Have you checked for program updates? https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/lacerte-tax-news-updates/discussion/irs-individual-e-file-li...

Sorry update link is for Lacerte. ProConnect should be auto update. It sometimes lags a bit behind Lacerte, so IF NOT NOW, THEN SOON.

Does this mean the forms will be ready to efile? Or does this mean the actual state will be accepting the efile?  State of Hawaii (where I am originally from) always runs on Hawaiian time (late) however, I have eager w-2 filers who want to do their returns already.

Seems to match Lacerte, so it seems to me you should be good to efile NOW. Have you tried? The diagnostics should tell you.

Thank you. I was thinking I would see something on the SOH website but I didn’t. That works for me. Thank you again.
