I am using desktop version and it says efiling is closed for the season on Oct 15 2022. But the tax deadline is Oct 17th!

It still allows me to continue but I am not sure if it will execute efile properly. Is this a bug and can some please help me?

Looks like they are aware....here's a "Notification" I see in my Desktop Premier at 9:30AM Eastern, 16 Oct:   (An actual "Pause" in Desktop e-filing??)

This is a developing issue this morning.  Several other desktop users have reported the same, and they were able to proceed to efile anyway.

 

Obviously that message has an error since October 17 is the extended filing deadline this year for the 2021 return.

Did you get a confirmatory email that the efile had been transmitted, and when you check the efile status from within your desktop software, does it show you the efile status?

 

I bet there will be a lot of other users encountering this message today and posting about this in coming hours.   Hopefully, there will be word from TurboTax folks at some point.

 

Also, be aware that if an efiled return is rejected after it was timely efiled on or before October 17, one has until October 22 to make any corrections and either resubmit the efile or postmark and mail the rejected return.

I got the same error: TurboTax e-filing closed for the tax season on October 15, 2022.

Proceed to pay Intuit and submitted the returns for e-filing, but I did not get an email nor a text message confirming. 

When I check the e-file status, it's noted as pending for both Fed and State.

 

this is creating anxiety. And I really want to go to bed (it's 330am here!)

There’s millions of people trying to file by the deadline it’s going to take longer for IRS to acknowledge the new return. They use an old outdated computer system that does not meet the current needs of consumer.
