IRS E-file Blackout Aug 3-5

The IRS MeF (E-filing) Production system will be unavailable due to a system upgrade from Saturday, August 3, 2019, 12:01AM Eastern time through August 5, 2019, 11:59 AM Eastern time.

During these IRS e-filing blackout periods, the Electronic Filing Center (EFC) will continue to receive e-files from customers; however, please note:

  • E-files will be held at the EFC during this period. They will transmitted to the IRS when their system comes back online for processing;
  • Acknowledgements (acks) for these e-files will not be delivered until after we transmit to the IRS.
