Hold on to it a little longer.  2017 e-filing opens back up the same time the 2018 e-filing starts - 1/28/19.

Ive got 2 Ive been holding since late November...still glad we didn't file by mail, who knows what's happening there in the IRS mailroom, don't want to be tangled up in that mess, that's for sure!

"ProConnect is saying that the IRS will re-open for 2017 e-filing in late January 2019"

I don't use ProConnect Online, I use ProSeries Professional and Ive been able to Efile 2017 returns since mid January

Does ProConnect have a way to update the 2017 program?  I know I had to update the 2017 version of ProSeries before I could Efile those returns.

Thanks for sharing this. I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with ProConnect support to find out that it was a local return blocking the filing. The IRS and State returns were able to be e-filed but the local return was not. Once I unchecked the E-file box for local, I was able to transmit 2017 Federal and State. ProConnect (says they are) working on updating the error message to clarify the issue. Right now the error message claims that the IRS and States are not accepting 2017 e-file, when really it's dependent on local!
