My client is efiling their individual return late, during the IRS production shutdown cutover. Will the IRS use the "Received by Intuit" date as the date the return was filed? Or, will the returns acknowledged file date be mid to late January 2019 when the IRS begins accepting individual efiled returns?

For returns that are filed late, the date the IRS receives the return for processing, not the electronic postmark from Intuit, is the date of filing. If you missed Intuit's transmission deadline on Nov 17 at 8:59pm EST, it is possible that the IRS may only receive the return for processing in mid or late Jan.

Based on this article's last sentence, I'm inclined to agree with @itonewbie

Wont the efile be rejected due to shutdown?
