No, not Jodie Foster vs. Anthony Hopkins in the  1991 thriller; rather, it’s Tax Court announcing its weekend shutdown to roll out the brand-new eFiling system (which we devoutly hope is not Tax Court’s answer to the healthcare website, about which the less said, the better).

Anyway, eFiling is offline from Friday, January 17, 2014, at 8:00 a.m., EST, until Tuesday, January 21, 2014, at 6.a.m., EST.

eFiled documents due on Friday, January 17, 2014, will be deemed timely if filed before Wednesday, January 22, 2014, at 6 a.m., EST. Of course, Monday, January 20, 2014 is a holiday in DC, so nothing due that day. But only eFileds get a bye; petitions and notices of appeal are still paper-only, so if your magic date is Friday, January 17, 2014,  remember Section 7502 and get to the Post Office or your nearest approved overnighter.

For the lowdown on the new eFiling system, go to the Tax Court homepage, http://www.ustaxcourt.gov/, and check it out.
