Early return

My taxes were accepted (electronically) by Turbo tax on the 14th. There is conflicting info out here, because a lot of people are saying the IRS isn't ACCEPTING until the 28th - obviously NOT TRUE. What I want to know is are they going to PROCESS before the 28th...?? I have no issues with the filing, I am single, no EIC....

I hope to see the funds tomorrow, which would be the 7 days after e filing and being accepted, but I'm not holding my breath lol.

The irs accepts a small amount of refunds early just to run them through the system and make sure everything is working correctly. There’s absolutely no chance of getting any kind of refund before february.

Plus, it takes 21 days to process the refund. Not sure where you are getting this “7 days” thing from. You said it best. Don’t “hold your breath”.

A few people are claiming that their WMR info updated and is showing DDD of 1/28 as of this morning.

I am sorry JayBlaz1n but that is incorrect information. Many people, my self included, have been given a DDD already. Many say the 28th, and others say the 30th. Most times if you electronic file and have DD, it does not take the full 21 days. It never has for me and I have been electronic filing for years.

Also, when you e-file after the 28th, it does typically take 7 days, or less :). That's with no EIC and all the other stuff...

Just because they accept it doesn't mean they worked on it. IRS didnt start working on returns until today.

Well that's great, but if you go to the IRS website that is where I got that information from it says right there that the Irs will start processing taxes on January 28th.

Then I think they are full of it. I posted the link above directly from the IRS. sorry, but every year someone claims this and gets everyone all in a tizzy about it, despite every year when a few get processed in a trial run. The deposit dates are still based on when the first processing date is set, and that we yesterday. TurboTax wouldn't when let you submit early- I tried.
