No you cannot e-file after midnight tonight in your time zone. If you miss the deadline you will have to print, sign and mail your return instead. There is no penalty if you do not owe or are getting a refund.

@xmasbaby0

This FAQ you provided above makes it sound like one could still submit an efile up until October 29. It says:

"If you started your 2020 return on TurboTax Online you have until 9 PM PT October 29 to file your return online, but it may be subject to late filing fees." (if taxes are owed)

@mesquitebean I know----the FAQ is confusing. I do not think it is possible to e-file for the "first" attempt after midnight tonight. I think I am going to stop using the confusing FAQ that TT wrote.
