E filing

[Skink]

I'm getting this message that the return can't be accepted because the government has not passed certain stuff. What do we do?

1. I filed this morning without any problems.

I do not see why you would get such a message.

3. Filed mine via turbotax - both state and federal got accepted.

I get 11 whooping bucks from the state.

Who Can’t File Until Later?

There are several forms affected by the late legislation that require more extensive programming and testing of IRS systems. The IRS hopes to begin accepting tax returns including these tax forms between late February and into March; a specific date will be announced in the near future.

The key forms that require more extensive programming changes include Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization) and Form 3800 (General Business Credit). A full listing of the forms that won’t be accepted until later is available on IRS.gov.

As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax professional community to minimize delays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the circumstances.

Updated information will be posted on IRS.gov.
