That is not the information I've gotten. My understanding is that this error is 100% on TurboTax's shoulders. It's not even remotely okay to expect people to wait weeks to e-file (or use snail mail). I for one was relying on getting my refund by the end of the month, like every year. The financial implications of not getting that money are catastrophic for me.
At the very very least, TurboTax should be refunding their fees.
