* I e-filed a return and was accepted even after I got this msg. Has anyone tried it yet?

@shercri   How did you have your client review the return?  Or, was it your return?

Really ??

Yep, there's a three mile long thread on this issue.

My issue with 'filing' is how do you have the client review the return first?  Unless said client is sitting & staring at the computer screen with you.  So I'm just twiddling my thumbs for now.

Hmmm, I havent seen that message and I havent seen any watermarks on any pages...did you go through Review, do the diagnostics give any hints to what isnt ready?

That other thread is for Lacerte....Ive heard they're waiting on several states still.
