Tax Year Prior to 2020: Why is GA not accepting efile until 2/3/2020?

this worked!

Have anyone who filed yesterday or today been accepted

The IRS opened e-filing season today, January 27, 2020. They accept returns within 48 hours, usually very quickly. The state returns, once finalized and released, will be worked into the program quickly. Turbo Tax can only respond to what the Federal and State governments do. Please do not expect Turbo Tax to have forms just released ready instantly. It takes a few hours at the minimum for the programmers and testers to do their jobs. Turbo Tax wants to offer you a quality product as fast as possible.

Once you see a release date, the state will probably release it that day. Sometimes there is a delay and the links for forms availability will be updated. Please check the link below as needed.

It worked. Thank you so much

As of today, January 27th 2020, the Georgia Department of Revenue official website states that state income tax processing will begin February 1st 2020. 

So it will be just a few more days before we can submit Georgia state e-filings.

Thank you!!

Due to fraudulent tax submissions for some reason Georgia is delaying accepting state taxes until Feb. 3rd. In addition once you complete your federal and state taxes and pay. When you attempt to submit your federal and Ga state taxes they BOTH will be rejected. And you have to wait until Feb. 3rd to submit both. You will not be able to just submit your federal or cancel your state in order to submit your federal.

Thanks, going back to choosing to mail or electric works!!! I chose to file federal electronically and submit state at a later date.. thanks so much

Your federal isn’t efiled. You can always choose to efile just your federal now and then efile the state February 1st. 

[AmieS]

You can choose to efile your federal now and not the state. Turbo tax gives you that option.

[AmieS]

Your federal hasn’t been efiled. You will need to choose the option to efile your federal but not your state. 

[AmieS]

There is a way to just efile your federal without having to efile your state together.

I filed both of my taxes on 1/25/2020 and they both went through.  I tried to file my daughter’s today and got the same message.  I don’t believe either of hers transmitted.
