ProFx saying IRS will use the vendor's time zone. I thought it was time zone of the preparer or if self-prepared, the taxpaper.

The taxpayer must adjust the electronic postmark to the time zone where the taxpayer resides to determine the postmark’s actual time. For example, if the Transmitter provides an electronic postmark with a time in the Pacific Time Zone but the taxpayer resides in the Eastern Time Zone, the taxpayer must add three hours to the postmark time to determine the actual postmark time (Eastern Time Zone).

I am also in PDT zone and use prosystemfx. Any return that I submit between 10 pm and midnight (PDT) gets a midnight time stamp. They have consistently done this for years. Go into ELF and look up that return. Search by name. Then click on the return id link. It will bring up the return history. Look in the upper right hand corner and it shows the e-Postmark. It will show the time and date there.
