The IRS uses reference code 9001 to indicate a "Systemic error/issue". In other words, it's likely not a problem with your return. Take a deep breath, wait a day or two, then try again. The IRS won't start processing your return until at least January 28 anyway, even if they said it was accepted.

I just talked to a very nice lady from the irs and she said that the code 9001 is nothing but a message that took the place of the path act for early filers before the system was officially up and running and in a couple of days it should update to the original path message. And she seen a date for 2/23 and just to keep my eye on wmr in the next couple of days it will update
