Upcoming 1040 MeF Production Shutdown Scheduled for November 30, 2024
The IRS has announced the annual shutdown of the 1040 Modernized e-File (MeF) Production system, scheduled to begin on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. This temporary closure allows the IRS to prepare the system for the upcoming Tax Year 2024 filing season.
Key Points:
The shutdown only affects "Send Submissions" for 1040 returns (both Federal and State).
All other services—including "Get Acks" and state-specific services—will remain active, allowing users to continue these functions.
Business returns are not impacted by this production shutdown.
