Tax Year Prior to 2020: Can’t submit taxes

[RobertG]

The IRS is not accepting returns yet, but this should not prevent you from submitting your return; it should just go into a pending state.

Are you getting any error messages or reasons from TurboTax as to why you can't submit your return? 

The Internal Revenue Service announced that the nation's tax season will start for individual tax return filers on Monday, January 27, 2020, when the tax agency will begin accepting and processing 2019 tax year returns.

For further information, see the attached IRS website. IRS opens 2020 filing season for individual filers on Jan. 27

Today is the January 27.  When can I expect TurboTax to submit my return? How will I know that it has been submitted?

The IRS has opened the e-filing for returns today, and will be pulling returns from Turbo Tax in bathes (first filed basis).
