When I e-filed my last 4 returns for today, a message came back from ATX saying that the IRS will begin accepting returns containing the five forms in question, on the evening drain (6 PM local) of Feb 11, 2008.

The software will begin allowing the creation of e-files with these forms the morning of the 11th. We ask that you withhold transmitting affected returns until after the morning drain (11 AM) at your respective service center where your return will be filed. Returns transmitted before the evening drain will be rejected by IRS. Additionally, due to projected volume, IRS is anticipating acks will be delayed by 11 to 12 hours during the first week of AMT-allowed return filing.
