The IRS has shut down e-filing in order to prepare for the new tax season.
Are you working on a 2015 tax return or 2016?
TurboTax will no longer allow you to e-file a 2015 tax return. You have to print it and file by mail. I think the instructions still talk about e-filing because they just don't bother updating the software after the filing season.
It's too soon to e-file a 2016 tax return. The IRS will start processing 2016 tax returns on January 23. TurboTax will let you "e-file" starting in early January, but the return isn't really filed. TurboTax holds it until the IRS starts processing returns.
