file it until the IRS begins accepting them (it will remain securely on our
server until then).

(both Federal & State) are subject to change, so certain forms may update a
bit later.
The IRS also does not have all of the forms finalized and
ready for filing yet. Please read the
TurboTax FAQ below for IRS
Forms Availability Table for TurboTax Individual (Personal) Tax Products.
Similarly, You may have state forms that have not been
finalized. Please see the TurboTax FAQ
for state form availability

Please note that the estimated 21-day period to receive a
refund is calculated from the date that the e-file is successfully submitted AND
accepted by the IRS – and not necessarily from the date the
customer submits their return in TurboTax
