We strongly recommend you open and review the return before sending, especially if you created the return when we opened on the 8th. Federal and state calculations changed frequently during this time period. You must send these returns from the Submission menu during the controlled launch period.
This date and time is subject to change or the process is subject to stop based on feedback from the IRS.
