Because of the current budget situation, the IRS plans to close on May 24, June 14, July 5, July 22 and Aug. 30. The Modernized e-File (MeF) system will not be available on these dates. For all of these dates, the MeF system (Production and ATS environments) will be unavailable from 10:00 p.m. ET the prior day until 9:00 a.m. ET the following day. For example, when the closure falls on a Friday, the system will be unavailable from 10:00 p.m. on Thursday until 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
