I usually get my federal acceptance response within an hour of E-filing. I have received no acceptance on multiple federal returns filed over the last 24 hours. I have received state acceptance though. Anyone else seeing the same problem? Wish they would put up an alert if it is a problem like it was back in June. Thanks
