for business returns someone posted a few days ago that business returns can be efiled now. on top of 1120S though in program a yellow banner says efile ready on 01.21.2020.  Did the business efile window get pushed back to 01.21.2020?

If its still got a yellow bar, its not ready to file, whether the EFile season is open or not.

Thank you.. I clicked on Accept as Solution even though I am reluctantly accepting it.  

I have about 40 business returns ready to go.. By doing the books monthly, when January comes along all I have to do is process December, some  year end entries and it is ready to go.

Heres the release dates so you can see when the programs themselves are finalized...there have been forms in other years that had a yellow bar that shouldnt have been there and you could click the X in the corner of the bar and still file it, but its still pretty early for that for 2019 forms.  Business Efiling opening so early I thought was more for people that need to file business returns that have fiscal years and use the 2018 forms

The IRS opened e-file for Businesses on January 7th.

E-file for Individual returns doesn't start until January 27th.

As for when Intuit has the actual forms ready to file, that varies.

2017 and 2018 business returns can be filed as of now.  Anything for 2019 including 2019 business files will not be eligible until 1/27/20.  this is for 990's or fiscal corps filing on previous year software.  Therein is where your confusion come forth from.
