    I believe efile is available again now. I was successful in efiling a Corp on 1/15.

    Efile for individuals  is closed until 1.27.20 - for any/all open years.  Including 2018...

    See this announcement - which is tagged to the right of the forum, at the top >>>>>>>

    It has *always* been 1.26.20 for individuals - per the official IRS announcement.

    Business efile reopened 1.7.20 (I think that's when it was..).

    I got rejection code 1/27/2020 that says tax year 2018 1040 transmissions are not available- tax year 2018 1040 will not be eligible for efiling  until mid to late February.  The IRS has not updated their systems for TY18 due to exentenders and the focus on TY19.  Prosereis will not be acepting 2018 1040 returns until further notice. ......

    Yes, Intuit put out that notice a few days ago, 2018 return EFiling has been delayed by IRS, theyre not ready for them yet due to the extenders.  We can thank Congress for their last minute law changes.

    have they opened up 2018 efile season yet???

    when i try to search for it, it only brings up 2019 postings, nothing for current time for 2018 efile.
