Can returns be accepted on the weekend ?

[SweetieJean]

Possibly.  But it might take 48-72 hours in any case.

@liu7979 -yes - the IRS will accept returns over the weekend (and overnight)... while they state the response to get an accept (or a reject) is 24-72 hours, my experience regardless of the day of the week is just a few hours.
