Question

What time is the latest we can e-file on 5/17 to be considered timely filed?

Sorry, all of these unemployment questions are getting to me and I just needed to see something other than "unemployment" listed here.  But as long as I'm here, what date can we start e-filing 2021 tax returns?  I just thought I would get that one in early so I know I am the first to ask.

Oh, and just to clarify.  Those 2021 returns can be transmitted on 12:01 a.m. on the start day, right?

I was considering creating a post "I want to be unemployed ... so I don't have to deal with all of these unemployment questions".

The IRS has yet to announce, but I'll keep my ear to ground for you! You win the award for the first question about it though! 😃😂

It will be like applications for PPP grants.  Certain minorities will be allowed to start a week earlier.  Like, tax preparers who have ever filled out a return without the use of software.
