Delay in receiving Modernized e-File (MeF) Acknowledgements

We received the following information from the IRS and are passing it along to you.  You can read the entire release here.

Attention Software Developers and Transmitters
The length of time for the MeF System to create federal acknowledgments and make them available for retrieval is taking longer than expected. As receipts continue to increase throughout the day, the length of time may also increase. The IRS is closely monitoring the acknowledgment rates and is working to close the gap as a top priority.

We will issue a Technical QuickAlert once the delays are resolved.
Please monitor the MeF Status page for updates.
Thank you for your patience and support.
