E-filing a 1040 Return

[Dan]

Has the IRS said anything about when to e-file a federal return?  It seems a little early right now.  What kind of response has anyone had about this?  Thanks for your response.

I have more than 100 returns accepted as of this morning. A few people without children have Federal and MD refunds already.

Eeegads!  I only complete a total of 400 returns.  If I were as efficient as you, I would be 25% through the season.  I only have 9 drop offs so far, and only 2 of them have all necessary information.

I have e-filed *one* and sent out another *one* for signatures (no e-filing; homeowner association).  Several other corporations/partnerships in the works with info queries out on incomplete sections.  Info in-house on only three individual returns; no one else has their stuff together yet.

I also e-filed one individual, and have our own individual return input completed. I'm waiting on our 1099-SA forms.  I did e-file the C corp return for my own business last night too.

None of my clients have all of their documentation yet so I'll have a couple more weeks before the onslaught.
