My efile is still pending after a week now.  Never experienced such a delay before. Usually only 24 hours or so.  Any idea why the delay?

    Per the IRS website, they will begin accepting and processing 2020 tax year returns on February 12, 2020. Please see this IRS News Release for additional information.

    Thanks for responding. Do you know why the Fed's delayed the process start date. Seems to me they create a logjam by doing so.
