Is there a reason why Intuit isn't forwarding 1120S extensions on to the IRS?

EF Status has been "Received by Intuit" for over a day now for an 1120S extension which was efiled.  Usually they are approved by the IRS in less than an hour.  Is there a reason for the delay, and will Intuit get the extension to the IRS by the deadline tonight?

Mine all cleared within a short time yesterday afternoon.

Any way to get in touch with Intuit other than telephone?  After holding for over 90 minutes, their system disconnects you.

I have sent in other extensions while on hold with them and already have those back.

Have you tried highlighting the returns in the EF homebase and then clicked on the e-file button and selected update acknowledgements?

[terrycpa]

Many many times.  It has yet to be sent to the IRS.

[IRonMaN]

Sorry, that's all I have for ideas.  About all you can do is wait for them to clear or try another call to support.

[terrycpa]

Thanks.  I'm considering putting a paper copy of the extension in the mail with today's postmark, just in case.   It's almost 5 here and their phone lines will not be clearing anytime soon.

You should be good with the postmark date at Intuit being timely, but  a paper extension does provide a safety net to allow a better night's sleep tonight.
