1040 E filling

I am having the same problem.  All of my individual returns are receiving Transmission Failed due to IRS shutdown which is not until 11:00pm Central Time.  It is now 8:43pm.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

The IRS has announced the Modernized e-File (MeF) system will be shutdown for annual maintenance in preparation of Tax Year 2023. This shutdown will only impact Individual Federal and State filings, while California will remain open as they are independent of the IRS system. ProSeries will remain open for California 1040 e-file through the end of the calendar year. This shutdown period will begin Saturday, November 18, 2023, at 11:59 PM Eastern time. ProSeries will shutdown 4 hours earlier to ensure that all returns in our system have time to process before the shutdown. ProSeries will begin blocking returns Saturday, November 18, 2023, at 7:59 PM Eastern.

Up until a few days ago, the people who were supposed to come to work at midnight to shut down the system were expecting to be told that they are not essential, so don't show up.  Maybe they were already told, and then no one told them the government was back on. 

More likely, the people who write the press releases figured they should add an hour and minute, and maybe that's the way it was last year, so why bother to ask if anything had changed?  Or the people that plan the outage, decided it wouldn't really matter if they did it at 5pm instead of midnight, and they didn't even know about the press release that said otherwise. 

IRS is a big place.  Don't ever expect coordination from the many arms of the octopus.  (Or are they legs?)  

Proseries cut us off at 8pm Eastern time
