Question

I did the eFile thing, but the Fed doesn't start accepting them until the 27th. My concern is that one of the forms says, "Do Not File, Form Not Final." Anyone have this?

Tax returns that are e-filed before the IRS starts accepting them will be held by TurboTax, and then transmitted to the IRS once they begin accepting them.  If your return contains a form that has not been approved then it will be rejected and you will have to re-submit once approved for filing.

Ok ... you saved a PDF of the return before you filed then it will have  that watermark on it ... there is no way to file a return with an unfinished form so when your return is accepted you can download a fresh PDF and the watermarks will be gone.
