You cannot e-file this tax return because the intuit Electronic Filing Center is not open for the season yet.

ME TOO! What is the solution? Any answers yet?

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.

Keep getting this message: 

the intuit Electronic Filing Center is not open for the season yet.

What is going on with this ? Tried to file S-Corp taxes several times this weekend and again just now at 7:30 AM PST.

I got the same thing.. was on hold, told they would call me back, never did, then got email that my  case was closed! lol

So I did my own research and I THINK this is the reason:

https://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/tax-news/irs-announces-e-file-open-day-be-the-first-in-line-for-your-tax-refund-15822/

Mine still isn't allowing me to submit and shows that it has no updates.

1120S Error Message on Transmit for 2019Returns- Intuit Filing Center Not OpenWhen trying to file my 1120S for 2019 on Jan 27 2020 -- I received an error message thatthe Intuit Filing Center is not yet open for the tax season. When I called -- had to betransferred and then on hold for quite a long time to be told the filing center for 1120S willnot open until February 3, 2020.The software didn't give any error messages that forms were not ready -- Intuit hasdropped the ball on this one.Thought this post might help others as I searched and searched while on hold with Intuitand found nothing to help answer my question.

Thanks for the update!

The Intuit personal tax filing season was supposed to open today Jan 27, 2020, but the business tax season was supposed to open Jan 21st.

I got the same message.  If the IRS is accepting tax returns today 1/27/2020 then Intuit should have been prepared for them too. They are also charging me $120 when it should be free -- more than last year. I may not use TurboTax again!!  

THANK YOU for the February 3rd date for 1120S. That would have been nice to see that message on TurboTax, right?

THANK YOU DUNCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the information.  So stupid that Intuit cannot tell us that upfront!!

Does anyone know what the issue is with filing W2's and 1099's? The electronic filing is grayed out

Thanks!

Thanks for information.  Saved me much time on phone.  I already removed and re downloaded the program but to no avail.  You are correct.  Turbo-tax should give an error message giving the dates filing can occur.

Try again tonight mine finally went through and was accepted good luck everyone. My message mentioned intuit tax season not open and Georgia would not be e-filed until 02-03...

Mine still didn't go through.

Make sure you have submitted your identification again don't skip it put in DL or State Id... then try it. 

When filing S Corp Business Tax Returns TurboTax does not ask for Drivers License Info. Am I missing something?

Please check for program updates in Business TurboTax.  The Corporate returns and schedules have been updated for electronic filing.

My software is up-to-date and still receiving the message "Intuit Electronic Filing Center is not open for the season yet. We accept 2019 Texas Corporation tax returns from beginning of tax season to end of tax season."

Unfortunately, the latest update indicates that efiling the S-Corp is still unsupported.

This issue has been reported and you will have to wait for the developers to implement a fix. 

You can always file by mail which is by no means ideal, of course, but it is a recommended option.

I tried filing today, 2/13/2020 and got the same message again.

Linda "Tax Expert"  GA actually says you can NOT file partnership returns by mail this year so the developers have to fix this quickly..

I am getting this error too when trying to file today Feb 12.
