Last day e-files will be accepted

[Jack from Ohio]

I have been searching for half an hour and cannot locate information about the last day e-files will be accepted this year.

Anyone have a link or document?  Historically, it has been around Nov 20, but I cannot find any information.

Am I just having a senior day or is that information intentionally obscure?

From another listserv:

On October 24, 2016, the IRS issued a QuickAlert notification to inform the tax industry of the end of year 1040 Modernized Electronic Filing (MeF) production shutdown and cutover to prepare for the start of the Tax Year 2016 Individual Income Tax filing season (2017). 

Beginning November 30th, 2016, Federal and state Individual Income Tax electronic filing will close and remain unavailable until the start of the tax year 2016 filing season in January 2017.

At this time the IRS has not yet announced the Business (return) Modernized e-File production shutdown and cutover schedule.  We anticipate the cut-over to impact business returns will begin in late December 2016. 

For more information on the 1040 shutdown and cut-over continue reading the IRS QuickAlert below, or visit the IRS website.

The ATX Blog also had a recent posting saying that they will stop accepting 1040 efiles 1 or 2 days before the IRS cutoff.

IRS' MeF status page has the information.
