IRS E-File Annual Shutdown

Each year, after the extended due date, the IRS shuts down the e-file system to allow them to prepare it for the next tax year.

The IRS recently announced the shutdown scheduled for this year, which will occur on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

Practitioners who need to e-file late returns or returns for fiscal-year entities need to plan around this shutdown period. Returns that are not e-filed before the shutdown date cannot be e-filed until the system reopens. The e-file system generally reopens in late January.
