Get your taxes done using TurboTax
It depends, @Eli923, should the TurboTax system not yet allow you to e-file, I would suggest you do one of three things:
1. Either wait approximately 3-4 weeks (21 days max) to mail in your returns after the date you've mailed in the 14039, or
2. Wait for the "green card" you will receive back from the IRS (which can take a while to get back) before mailing out 14309, or
3. Wait 14-21 days and attempt to e-file again; if the I.R.S. has received it and logged it your "hold" will be cleared.
Now, depending on what State in which you reside (I live in RI so there's an IRS office right up the road), you can always make an online appointment with an IRS agent and hand the 14039 into them in person and you will immediately get receipt of delivery. They will then send you confirmation of recording date - which usually only takes about 2 weeks tops - of your form. It is very unfortunate, I know, of what we need to do after such an awful experience. It is, however, your safest way!
