Does IRS Accept/Process TurboTax Returns on Weekends?

Just submitted my taxes through TurboTax tonight (Saturday) and wondering if the IRS actually processes these during weekends or if I need to wait until Monday to see any movement. Anyone know if the system runs 24/7 or just business days?

Tax pro here - The IRS electronic filing system (called MEF) runs 24/7/365. Your return can be accepted any time. However, actual processing and updates to transcripts typically only happen on business days.

Oh that helps explain it! So I might get the acceptance notification but probably won't see transcript updates till next week?

Hey guys, if you want real-time insight into your refund status, check out taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your return. Costs $4.99 but saved me weeks of anxiety. https://taxr.ai
