If you return is rejecting with error code FW2-505-01, Form W-2, Line B Employer EIN was issued after the Tax Year then you will have to mail in a paper return for this year because the IRS can't process it electronically..

Yes. The IRS is accepting paper returns. There are delays in processing. The July 15 deadline means the return must be postmarked by that date. It does not apply to processing.
