You will be waiting until the IRS starts to accept e-files and starts issuing refunds.  The IRS starts to accept/reject e-files on January 29.   That "5-day early" refund does not come until the IRS has actually processed and approved your refund and determined when they will issue it.

See Your refund 5 days early for details of the early refund offer. Read the Frequently Asked Questions near the bottom of the page, and read the fine print, especially footnote 1.
