After you file

That's a very nice thought, and I appreciate that Intuit even replied to this....  but it turns out that "out of Intuit's hands" is not exactly the case here.  I submitted it on Feb 21, got an Intuit acknowledgement on Feb 21, but it wasn't "out of Intuit's hands" until a full week later.  According to the IRS, it was in a batch that arrived 8 days later.   So, something in the connection between Intuit and the IRS appears to not be as reliable as we'd wished.
