Hello,

I am trying to efile my S Corp and C Corp returns of 2019 as of Jan 25, 2020 and getting this error message - "you cannot e-file this tax return because the Intuit electronic filing center is not open for the season yet. We accept 2019 Federal corporation tax returns from the beginning of the tax season to the end o f tax season". Everything is correct is on my computer. Can you please help?

They gave same message about my personal tax returns> Why did you let me prepare them if you won't be transmitting them?

Would have been SO  NICE and saved SO  MUCH TIME if this info came up in the error message when trying to file rather than the non-descript one that did, right? lol

Also having this issue. I got on with support and the woman had me hold for 10 minutes to find a solution and then hung up on me.

Does it solve the problem? I still can not submit my 1120S with the same error message. Possibly TT s-corp filing opens tomorrow?

Finally I was able to speak with TurboTax and they told me that IRS is expected to provide remaining forms by tomorrow and once the software is updated, the 1120s can be efiled likely tomorrow evening.
