when will efile reopen for 2023 returns ?

[DoninGA]

A 2023 tax return cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  It can only be printed and mailed.

then why does this intuit article indicate it will reopen ?

That link does not work.

After the current tax year closed on October 15, the TurboTax return for that specific tax year can no longer be e- filed but must be printed and mailed.

odd, it parses the link and deletes out a part as product key. Anyway here's the link, just replace the happy face with a dash like the rest of it and it brings up an intuit article that says they accept current and past 2 years? I find both answers on the website - current year only and current minus 2 except while the IRS is shut down - Thanks

@bjjones  Got to the website...Interesting but in reality you cannot e-file a prior year tax return using TurboTax.  Will you be able to in the future??  Maybe.  But the reality now is that only the current tax year can be e-filled.
