Reject Code F8962-006-01 this processing error is ridiculous! Can we file at 12:01 on the 3rd?

We cannot confirm whether you will be able to file at midnight on the 3rd (you may certainly try) however it is our understanding that sometime on 2/3 you will be able to go back into your return, review errors, fix and submit. Please see TeresaM's response in this applicable thread.

There isn't any errors to fix! I've gotten 3 different answers one blaming the IRS , then it was oh it's your state no accepting that form till the 3rd ( absolutely not true) now you're saying errors when they're no errors to fix on my end.
