Hello. I am having a problem filing a 2019 Federal return. It converts but does not transmit. The message keeps says, after several attempts, that the file is "ready to transmitt/" I have logged out, restarted my computer abd nothing. (by the way, the state return, california, filed without issue).

Please help

Intuit sent out in-product notices; the IRS provided notices, two threads were posted here, yesterday, discussing it .....

E-filing is closed, and has been since November. The IRS closes the MeF system down e.v.e.r.y. year to retool for the upcoming filing season. It usually re-opens in mid-to-late January.

The IRS *just* announced that re-opening will not happen until Feb 12, 2021 due to the last minute tax law changes.

I suggest you go to irs.gov & sign up for their free Alerts so you'll be one of the first to know when/if this date gets pushed back even further.

"two threads were posted here, yesterday, discussing it"

Based on that drinking game reference, I think it was more than just two threads 🙂

On our local 10pm news, the crawl (the bottom ribbon with short notices and alerts) included that...

Filing season opens on Feb 12th.

"...And the search for “one” continues"

I'm starting to think that the fact "we" are just enabling this new cycle of tax professionals by so readily provide the answer that they should already know because:

1) They stay informed by getting info directly from the IRS thru signing up for those * F R E E * alerts.

2) They go to the IRS website to look for info

3) Their recent continuing education informed them.

4) They are capable of reading/comprehending the in-program alerts and remembering them three-four weeks later.

5) They know how to use Google

6) ?? (feel free to add to the list)

It was on TV, for the general public to know. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to talk to your client and have them inform you of something you should have known professionally?

Along with the bearing grease and spare bearings, you did pick up a couple rolls of duct tape, didn't you? You just never know when you are going to need it when that counter starts spinning out of control.
