I have tried on October 18 to file a return and it came back with a message that Electrtonic Filing for 2019+ Federal Personal is not yet available? Why? It is not October 19, 2020 yet!!!!

Many of us having the same issue. Maintenance was supposed to be today from 1a - 7a EST - however, this problem seemed to start yesterday and while maintenance period should be over, same errors are occurring for quite a few of us regardless of state.

It would be nice if someone in charge at Intuit would advise us as to what and when something is going to happen so we can get on with our lives! Is that too much to ask?

They don't work weekends, unlike a lot of tax professionals.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

You are confusing Intuit's File Conversion deadline with IRS filing service. They have nothing to do with each other.

As I understand it, you cannot convert your file by the end of the day, but you can still trnasmit. So, if I convert all my files today, can I still transmit tomorrow?

The word "conversion" is being Confused here.

Conversion as part of the e-filing Transmission Process is not the same thing as File Conversion for purposes of which Program you use to prepare tax returns.

"Intuit will be performing annual maintenance on the Data Conversion Service in preparation for Tax Year 2020 beginning Oct 19. During this time Tax Data Conversion will be unavailable. Oct 18 is the final date to submit tax data for conversion in ProSeries 2019. After this time, 2018 tax files will no longer be processed, and conversion services will resume when we begin accepting 2019 tax files with the release of 2020 ProSeries. Note: This information does not impact or relate to electronic filing."

It's not semantics. It's Function. It's for Moving client data files between Programs; not Filing with the IRS Fed or State return processing.
