My understand is they follow the federal.  But me, I tell my clients I won't e-file anyone until the 31st.  I remember all the years the first returns that went in had a lot of rejections and problems.  One year the first returns in didn't get their money until the middle of March.  Mine are fine waiting 3 days to avoid the problems.

But everybody knows you do a better job than your competitor, that's why your clients come to you.

As far as your competitor's e-filing goes, some software companies participate in a guinea pig program where they will submit a few returns to make sure the program is running right.  If it isn't running right, you competitor could have a lot of explaining to do when those returns are held up until June.
