I spoke to a dealer today, and he said the E-file was done. Apparently, it was too easy for people to complete complete their applications.

Sounds like a browser problem, I had the same issues and ended up downloading Firefox which worked except for making payment. I had to use my IPhone to make the payment....

I did a form 1 the other night and it took 4 browsers over two computers and 2.5hrs to complete the damn thing. Still easier than dealing with the VA.

Exactly. When the Govt. doesn't want you to have something that you have a right too, they can make it really difficult...

I did one last weekend and had the same problem as well. Keep hacking away at it and eventually it'll work. I used Firefox as IE wouldn't even let me log in.

For me it was IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Pain in my ass.

Took me 3 hours to F1 an sbr today. Had to attach my trust 7 times. 4 java errors that forced me to close the site and login again...several attempts to pay. Even the confirmation was actually an error message!

But it shows pending...

Same for me a week ago filing 2. Took me 1.5 hours to wrestle through the errors after giving up the previous day's attempt.
But, at least we are paying $200.00 each time.

Filled out a F1 last night and was having issues with IE, specifically logging in.

Once I added the URL to the list of sites to run in comparability mode it worked like a champ, including the payment portion.

YMMV

I battled that site for hours with my first SBR.. I ended up using Chrome and waited until after midnight assuming traffic would be way down and it finally worked for me.

Gov efficiency at its finest, i don't even want to guess what that pos site cost taxpayers..

Man this thread doesn't give me hope

I haven't done a form 1 before so when I do it I really hope it goes ok.

hence why i just went with paper and ink, sure it takes another minute and a half to double check to make sure everything is in duplicate, printed front and back blah blah, but i tried for almost a week on efile as others have, and no avail. like the chinese proverb says, "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now" don't waste time...

only major issues I had was the payment section. Switched browsers a few times and it worked on the 3-4th try.

the site needs major work though.

I haven't found a government website that doesn't need work

I was able to use the eforms site Saturday, Sunday, and today without issues. It was just running sort of slow.

I did 99% of my form 1 Lastnight on my iPhone but I can't figure out how to upload my trust. So tried my computer and I can't even get it to let me to log in. IE 11 so I guess I'll try chrome and go from there.
