E Filing Lag with EF Status

[DCollotta]

Has anyone notices a Lag/Slowdown is getting updated EF Status.  I have had some that are normally accepted quickly not getting an updated EF Status?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

what do you consider "slow"? More than 48 hours?

[DCollotta]

I have filed some returns in the past in the morning at 8 am and they are accepted within an hour or two.

I now have 16 returns that are just hanging out with "Sent to IRS" and have not updated all day.

I will qualify my response and say that all of these were filed today.  I will wait and hope they update tomorrow.

I am nervous on Oct 12th.

Fingers Crossed.

Yes.  I submitted an e-filing this morning and still have not heard anything at the federal-end.  Traditionally, the IRS accepts the return with 45 minutes.

I think the IRS system must be getting bogged down by volume. I have some sent around noon that haven't been accepted yet.

Thank goodness for this thread.... I just figured the IRS was singling me out...stressing!

It was down earlier today for "unplanned maintenance".  It seems to be operational now, but it may take a while to process the backlog.

This type of info is what I wish that Intuit would pass on to us. (I can wish even though I do not expect to get it).  I only have 4 hanging out at IRS today

I hold on to what ever 8879s trickled in during the day and transmit them at the end of the day.  I then check on them the following day after they have had a good night's rest.  I never realized that we were supposed to transmit them and get our stop watch out to see how fast they came back 😉

It seems like another slow down this evening Thurs Oct 13.

I was pleased that my slow Wed aft/evening acks came thru this morning
