Trying to e-file my itemized return. When does E-filing open up for turbo tax? Currently its only showing to file by mail. 01/23/2018

[FaithY]

The e-filing for TurboTax opens when the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) opens the 2018 tax filing season on January 29, 2018. As long as the IRS doesn't change the start date of the tax filing season, you should wait until January 29th to go back into your return and change your filing options from file by mail to e-file.
