No.  Your return was on time.  The second time is the time the IRS actually accepted your return.  What counts is the first time - the time you sent the return.  Also, its local time that matters, so it looks like you sent your return at 10:10PM local time, which is on time.  TurboTax shows EST there just because that is the local time of the IRS office
