You said: If you follow the links to the IRS resources, you can see their status, their plan, and that their ACA filing system was scheduled to be down until 3pm today. Perhaps their planned maintenance didn't go as planned and ran over.

I ask: If we are submitting our files/returns to you for staging your submittal to the IRS. why ,if I am understanding correctly, that the delay is caused by them; are/is Intuit joining in the blockage in our attempts to empty our files into your/theirs so we can all go home or at least move on with our cleanup projects?
