If you sent it before midnight your time, it is not late, even though the official acceptance came today.  Also, even if it is late, you don't face any penalties if you don't owe tax.

@barbaramiyasato did you get a deposit date yet? I was accepted the same day and I’m still waiting on a date. Thanks
