The MeF system will be shut down from 7:00 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday, September 7, 2019, through 6:00 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday, September 8, 2019.
The IRS will not be accepting electronically filed federal tax returns during the period. Also, the joint fed-state e-file program will be unavailable during the period. Therefore, Rhode Island returns transmitted via e-file during the period will not be transmitted to the state. Tax preparers and taxpayers should plan accordingly.
